How To Install Latest Nodejs and NPM Version in Linux Systems

In this guide, we’ll take a look at how you can install the latest version of Nodejs and NPM in RHEL/CentOS and Fedora distributions.

Nodejs is a lightweight and efficient JavaScript platform which is built based on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine and NPM is a default NodeJS package manager. You can use it to build scalable network applications.

Step 1: Adding NodeSource Repository

The latest version of Node.js and NPM is available from the official NodeSource Enterprise Linux , Fedora , Debian and Ubuntu binary distributions repository, which is maintained by the Nodejs website and you will need to add it to your system to be able to install the latest Nodejs and NPM packages.

Important : Under RHEL 5 and CentOS 5 , the Node.js packages are depend on the EPEL repository, so the script will check and give instructions if incase it’s not installed.

To add the repository for the latest version of Node.js v6 LTS , use the following command as root..

On RHEL, CentOS and Fedora

# curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -

Sample Output

## Installing the NodeSource Node.js 6.x repo. ## Inspecting system. + rpm -q --whatprovides redhat-release || rpm -q --whatprovides centos-release || rpm -q --whatprovides cloudlinux-release || rpm -q --whatprovides sl-release + uname -m ## Confirming "el7-x86_64" is supported. + curl -sLf -o /dev/null 'https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_6.x/el/7/x86_64/nodesource-release-el7-1.noarch.rpm' ## Downloading release setup RPM. + mktemp + curl -sL -o '/tmp/tmp.69QmXPKxPE' 'https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_6.x/el/7/x86_64/nodesource-release-el7-1.noarch.rpm' ## Installing release setup RPM. + rpm -i --nosignature --force '/tmp/tmp.69QmXPKxPE' ## Cleaning up. + rm -f '/tmp/tmp.69QmXPKxPE' ## Checking for existing installations. + rpm -qa 'node|npm' | grep -v nodesource ## Run `yum install -y nodejs` (as root) to install Node.js 6.x and npm. ## You may also need development tools to build native addons: ## `yum install -y gcc-c++ make`

Alternatively for Node.js v7 add the following repository.

------- For Node.js v7 ------- # curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | bash -

On Debian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint

$ sudo curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -

Step 3: Testing Latest Nodejs and NPM

To have a simple test of nodejs and NPM , you can just check the versions installed on your system by using the following commands:

On RHEL, CentOS and Fedora

# node --version # npm --version

On Debian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint

$ nodejs --version $ npm --version

That is it, Nodejs and NPM are now installed and ready for use on your system.

Downloading and installing Node.js and npm

To publish and install packages to and from the public npm registry or a private npm registry, you must install Node.js and the npm command line interface using either a Node version manager or a Node installer. We strongly recommend using a Node version manager like nvm to install Node.js and npm. We 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.

Note: to download the latest version of npm, on the command line, run the following command:

Checking your version of npm and Node.js

To see if you already have Node.js and npm installed and check the installed version, run the following commands:

Using a Node version manager to install Node.js and npm

Node version managers allow you to install and switch between multiple versions of Node.js and npm on your system so you can test your applications on multiple versions of npm to ensure they work for users on different versions.

OSX or Linux Node version managers

Windows Node version managers

Using a Node installer to install Node.js and npm

If you are unable to use a Node version manager, you can use a Node installer to install both Node.js and npm on your system.

If you use Linux, we recommend that you use a NodeSource installer.

OS X or Windows Node installers

If you’re using OS X or Windows, use one of the installers from the Node.js download page. Be sure to install the version labeled LTS. Other versions have not yet been tested with npm.

Linux or other operating systems Node installers

If you’re using Linux or another operating system, use one of the following installers:

Or see this page to install npm for Linux in the way many Linux developers prefer.

Less-common operating systems
