How to install GLIBC 2.29 or higher in Ubuntu 18.04

So I am trying to install truDesk on my local system. I am getting this error while running the command npm install -g yarn:

node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28′ not found
(required by node)

My Ubuntu version is Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS and when I am checking for the latest version, it’s showing that the software is up to date. As I go through the glibcc error, it requires an Ubuntu version greater than 18. How can I update the version?

This is the application I am trying to download.

    You can try to download glibc from the official source and install it:

    wget -c https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.29.tar.gz
tar -zxvf glibc-2.29.tar.gz
mkdir glibc-2.29/build
cd glibc-2.29/build
../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc
make 
make install

    Pay attention to avoid breaking your OS environment: you need to specify the prefix and configure the separate path when you are using it.

    See this answer on how to use the alternate GLIBC.

    Answer from @Dolphin isn’t complete as it produces error from make: Makeconfig:42: *** missing separator. Stop.

    In my case, to I had to do following:

    # Check GLIBC_2.29
ldd --version | head -n1

# Build GLIBC_2.29 from sources
sudo apt-get install gawk bison -y
wget -c https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.34.tar.gz
tar -zxvf glibc-2.34.tar.gz && cd glibc-2.34
mkdir glibc-build && cd glibc-build
../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.34
make 
sudo make install

    P.S. If you are trying to run ord just try building from sources, it’s much simpler than upgrading ubuntu or recompiling GLIBC
