Have you ever tried to remove those node modules that you never use anymore? You could get surprise about the tremendous amount of space you can recover.

Now, you can do it easily with npkill, a minimalist and elegant package that will recursively look for you node_modules and will show you the space they take. You can then select which ones you want to erase to free up space.

Do not install it, just use npx in any path you want.

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
