I'm trying to install node.js v14.8.0 on my old laptop with 32-bit Linux installed.

• Node.js Version: v14.8.0
• OS: Lubuntu 18.04
• Scope (install, code, runtime, meta, other?): Install
• Module (and version) (if relevant): Nah

Hello. I try to install node v14.8.0 on my 32-bit machine. Unfortunately I cannot find this version that is already pre built for i368 so I tried to build node.js from source. Unfortunately enough for me I can't build it because my old laptop turns off after some time without any reason. Are there any pre-built versions of node.js 14.8.0 for 32-bit Linux because as I said before I can't build node.js on my old laptop.

Any help is appreciated.

Short answer: no - we stopped providing linux-x86 binaries after Node.js v8.x

Longer answer: try cross-compilation with ./configure --dest-cpu=ia32. Build on a beefier machine, then copy over the binary to your laptop.

You probably also want to run Ubuntu 18.04 on the beefy machine for maximum compatibility.

@indexerrowaty You could see if nodejs/node#33044 (which ports the gn build scripts for the Chromium fork of zlib to gyp) helps (there were reports that it helped others on 32-bit Linux). That PR is held up because it regresses relevant benchmarks.

Worked. Thanks for help.
