nodesource/distributions ? reverse-engineered prompt

I want a simple project that helps people install Node.js from NodeSource on Linux in a reliable way.

Please build the scripts and supporting files so someone can add the right package source, install the version they want, and keep the setup easy to maintain. It should feel like an official distribution helper, with clear steps for common Linux setups, readable docs, and a clean way to update older distro support over time. If you need to check current best practices or distro details, look them up online.

Make it practical for real users, so the instructions are easy to follow, the scripts are safe to run, and the repo is organized in a way that makes future updates straightforward. Include whatever documentation is needed so a person can understand which versions and distros are supported and how to use it without guessing.
