Node not running on linux shared server due to outdated libraries. How to update?-CodePudding

I installed node.js on godaddy linux server as per the instructions given in: https://ferugi.com/blog/nodejs-on-godaddy-shared-cpanel/

When I run the command: node --version, I get the errors:

    node: /usr/lib64/libstdc  .so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14' not found (required by node)
node: /usr/lib64/libstdc  .so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.18' not found (required by node)
node: /usr/lib64/libstdc  .so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.5' not found (required by node)
node: /usr/lib64/libstdc  .so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by node)
node: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.16' not found (required by node)
node: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17' not found (required by node)
node: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by node)

While it seems that my libraries are outdated, I don't know how to update the libraries on a linux shared server. apt does not work. Any solution for this?

As I learned that libc version is strongly tied with the distribution version. It's not possible to update libc along. Updating the distribution is too complicated, I suggest you download a lower version nodejs binary to be compatible with your OS version.
