On the web Alpine Linux shows it has a build for nodejs 4.3.0: https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=nodejs&repo=all&arch=x86_64&maintainer=all
But doing an `apk search` I only see nodejs 4.2.4 available:
```
/ # apk update
fetch http://dl-4.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.3/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
fetch http://dl-4.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.3/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
v3.3.1-62-g65b5dd4 [http://dl-4.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.3/main]
v3.3.1-59-g48b0368 [http://dl-4.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.3/community]
OK: 5859 distinct packages available
/ # apk search nodejs
nodejs-dev-4.2.4-r1
nodejs-doc-4.2.4-r1
nodejs-4.2.4-r1
```
How do I use nodejs 4.3.0?
Using to Edge branch at /etc/apk/repository, or download manually from Edge:
http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main/x86_64/nodejs-4.3.0-r0.apk
http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main/x86_64/nodejs-dev-4.3.0-r0.apk
http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main/x86_64/nodejs-doc-4.3.0-r0.apk
thanks. didn't know about edge, good to know. looks like 4.3 has now made it into the official package repo:
```
/ # apk search nodejs
nodejs-dev-4.3.0-r0
nodejs-doc-4.3.0-r0
nodejs-4.3.0-r0
```
