Install Node Tools

Now, we’ll install Node.js using nvm

Install NVM

Run the following command to install NVM:

brew install nvm

• It will take a while to install NVM so be patient.
• After completion, make sure you have a hidden folder called .nvm in your home directory, run mkdir ~/.nvm.

• Follow the instructions in the resulting output or use this command:

  cat >> ~/.profile <<x
  
  export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
  [ -s "/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" ] && \. "/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
  
  [ -s "/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion.d/nvm" ] && \. "/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion.d/nvm" # This loads nvm bash_completion
  x
  

  cat >> ~/.bashrc <<x
  
  export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
  [ -s "/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" ] && \. "/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/nvm/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
  
  [ -s "/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion.d/nvm" ] && \. "/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/nvm/etc/bash_completion.d/nvm" # This loads nvm bash_completion
  x
  

• when your installation is complete, you should restart your terminal.

Install Node

Run the following command to install Node.js:

nvm install --lts

• verify that you have Node.js installed by running the following command:

  nvm ls
