How to install node and npm on Unix-like operating systems

Step 1: Install a node version manager. We will use nvm. This is for OSx and Linux only.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash

Step 2: Run

nvm install node

to get the latest node release.

You can specify a node version by

nvm install 12

Step 3: select which node version you want to use with

nvm use 12
