How to install latest nodejs (13) on OpenSUSE?

Question

It seems that the most recent version in standard package managers is nodejs10. Is there any options to install nodejs13 or at least 12, or nvm?

None of instructions I found on the Internet worked for me, unfortunately.

My version is openSUSE Leap 15.1

Ok, here how I done it - the only option that seemed doable was building that from source, so according to https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/BUILDING.md#building-nodejs-on-supported-platforms

1. download source code from https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/
2. unpack
3. check that all build tools are in place: $ sudo zypper install python gcc-c++ make
4. $ ./configure
5. $ make -j4
6. build some docs if you want it: $ make doc
7. $ sudo make install

That's it
