# Usage:
#   1. Download a script
#        wget https://github.com/codetot-web/runcloud-bash-scripts/raw/refs/heads/main/update-nodejs.sh

#   3. Run the script:
#        ./update-node.sh
#
# Description:
#   - This script updates Node.js to a user-specified version.
#   - It prompts you to enter the desired Node.js version (e.g., 20, 22).
#   - It removes any existing Node.js installation.
#   - It installs the requested version using NodeSource repositories.
#   - Finally, it verifies the installation by printing the installed
#     Node.js and npm versions.
#
# Notes:
#   - Requires sudo privileges.
#   - Works on Debian/Ubuntu-based systems.
#   - Example input: "20" will install Node.js v20.x.
