Best way to install Node.js and NPM

/in /by

Node.js strongly recommend using a Node version manager like n to install Node.js and npm. They do not recommend using a Node installer, since the Node installation process installs npm in a directory with local permissions and can cause permissions errors when you run npm packages globally.

Install n directly from Github:

curl -L https://bit.ly/n-install | bash

Then check your versions (remember than node comes with npm)

node --version && npm --version

Note: if you are already having problems, first remove everything related with Node.js and NPM

I’ve had this Goku fusion idea between HTML & CSS in mind for a while but I couldn’t find the time to draw it till now. Many web developers grow in ego once they know some JavaScript tricks but a real front-end engineer is not really good until he/she masters HTML and CSS as well. Never underestimate HTML and CSS!
