Simplest way to upgrade NodeJs and NPM

In nowadays (~2020) not make sense to copy/paste big scripts from internet to install the official stable version of a package...

There are a simpler (and reliable) way (comparing with this ugly setpup) to do it for node and npm?

---

Notes: I am using fresh Ubuntu 18 LTS and need standard LTS packages, but apt install build very very old versions:

• node --version = v8.10.0, but "all people" need v12+ as the official recommendation.

• npm -v = 3.5.2, but "all people" need v6+ as the official recommendation.

• I try sudo snap refresh node --channel=13 but "snap 'node' is not installed"

• This answer seems the only good solution
