Installation

• First, make sure you have Node.js installed on your machine. To check,

  node -v
  

  You should see a version number.

  If not, you need to install Node.js first.

  • Install using Linuxbrew

    • Install Linuxbrew

    ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install)"
    

    • Install node

    brew install node
    

  • Installing using Binary (without sudo access)

    • For example, download Linux binary x64 platform in home folder. You should download the binary that suits your platform:

    cd ~
    wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.11.3/node-v6.11.3-linux-x64.tar.xz
    

    • Unzip the package:

    tar -xz node-v6.11.3-linux-x64.tar.xz
    

    • Add executables to PATH:

    PATH=$PATH:/home/node-v6.11.3-linux-x64/bin
    

For certain Linux distribution (e.g., Ubuntu 14.04), a legacy version of npm is installed under the name "nodejs", not "node". For these systems, a current version of (v6 or later) should be installed.

For installing node through packager manager and additional information on installing Node.js, please refer to the Nodejs installation guide.
