Linux 2 yum install nodejs fails dependency resolution for libuv = 1:1.42.0

Question

When I run `sudo yum install nodejs` the installation fails with:
```
--> Running transaction check
---> Package nodejs.x86_64 1:16.13.2-3.el7 will be installed

...

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: 1:nodejs-16.13.2-3.el7.x86_64 (epel)
           Requires: libuv >= 1:1.42.0
           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
```
What should I do?

Answer

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
```
