Hi,

I'm new to Alpine Linux and trying to install nodejs using the apk command like this on my Raspberry Pi 2:

apk add nodejs

I receive the following but not sure what's up.

ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:
nodejs (missing):
required by: world[nodejs]

I've downloaded the APKINDEX and grep'd for nodejs and it isn't listed? I'm wondering if there is an issue with availability as it was only built yesterday?

Kind Regards

A good way to search for packages is : apk search node

Here I have alpine:3.3 running in docker

/ # apk search node
perl-tree-dag_node-1.27-r0
sngtc_client-1.3.7-r1
nodejs-dev-4.2.4-r0
nodejs-doc-4.2.4-r0
nodejs-4.2.4-r0
perl-tree-dag_node-doc-1.27-r0
