I put sudo apt-get install nodejs npm , then 'sudo nodejs -v', shows the version, the truth is the old one. But if you write in the node console

ivan @ pc: ~ $ sudo node
sudo: node: command not found
ivan @ pc: ~ $

And gulp doesn't start, it writes the exact same error. What the heck?

Outdated versions can be stored in the standard archive. Try this:

 curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo bash -

And then:

 apt-get install nodejs
