specific node and npm version installation

You can update npm with itself:

npm install -g npm@latest

and for node, run the following:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade nodejs

If that doesn’t fix it, it is probably because the repository lagged behind. You can directly pull it:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
