I saw this question precisely because I hit the same issue with a new Amazon Linux 2 server.
Two options; either wait for the official release of the AWS Linux 2022 AMI build (which has the correct version of libuv baked in). It's still in Preview at the moment, however. https://aws.amazon.com/linux/amazon-linux-2022/?amazon-linux-whats-new.sort-by=item.additionalFields.postDateTime&amazon-linux-whats-new.sort-order=desc
A more instant gratification can be gained by installing libuv manually. These instructions were gained from the README file inside the tar.gz. Note that this is specific to version 1.43, but if you require a different version, visiting https://dist.libuv.org/dist/ will show all possible versions.
wget https://dist.libuv.org/dist/v1.43.0/libuv-v1.43.0.tar.gz
tar -zxf libuv-v1.43.0.tar.gz
cd libuv-v1.43.0/
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install
and then try your yum install of nodejs again;
yum install -y nodejs

Thanks for this great answer. I've tried the manual installation, but not quite got there. I followed the recipe you suggested. I had to make two additions: First, install
libtool
, used byautogen
Second, replace the
configure
command to put the library in the right place for AWS Linux2But there is clearly something else I need to do, as
sudo yum install nodejs
still complains about the missing library (same error as before).I am also getting the about the missing library (same error as before) Error: Package: 1:nodejs-16.15.0-3.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libuv >= 1:1.43.0 Available: 1:libuv-1.23.2-1.amzn2.0.2.i686 (amzn2-core) libuv = 1:1.23.2-1.amzn2.0.2 Available: 1:libuv-1.39.0-1.amzn2.i686 (amzn2-core) libuv = 1:1.39.0-1.amzn2
