Instalacion de Node JS 10 en Ubuntu Server 20.04

Para este articulo vamos a instalar nodejs 10 en Ubuntu Server, aunque la fecha de termino de soporte de Node termina en mayo del 2021, lo voy a instalar debido a que la aplicación se desarrollo con esta versión y no se han hecho las pruebas para migrar a la versión mas reciente LTS. Recuerda siempre programar con versiones LTS si es que vas a implementarlo en produccion.
