Linux (shell)

On Linux, the installation can easily be done using the Terminal with the following steps:

1. First of all, open up the Terminal.
2. Next, install curl as you'll need it to install Node.js: sudo apt install curl
3. Then, install Node.js from the NodeSource (https://nodesource.com) repository:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

1. You should now have both node and npm installed. Here's a link to the reference installation guide for Debian-and Ubuntu-based distributions: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions.

Let's now see how to update npm.
