How To Install Node.js on Linux Mint

Need to install a Node.js in Linux Mint? If so, I’ll show you two ways of installing Node.js on Linux Mint. The two ways are:

Solution 1: Install Node.js from repositories in Linux Mint

Step 1.1: Update packages and install Node.js

It’s a good practice before any installation from the repositories to update the packages. This can be done by:

Then you can install latest available Node.js by next command:

You will need to enter your root password.
Once the installation is complete you can check the version and verify the installation by:

Step 1.2: Install npm on Linux Mint

Many programs like JupyterLab will require npm to be installed in order to work. npm which stands for Node Package Manager can be installed on Linux Mint by:

Step 1.3: Upgrade Node.js which is installed from repositories

Often the installed Node.js version from the repositories will be outdated. If you need to upgrade Node.js to the latest version you can use module n .

The module n will take care for the upgrade of Node.js when it’s installed from PPA.

Then you can install the stable Node.js by:

Note 1: Depending on the OS, versions etc you may need to use sudo.

Note 2: There was a naming problem in the past for package node in Ubuntu. Which causes coexistence of node and nodejs commands in Linux Mint. Some programs will require nodejs others node . This should be handled with alias. You can check the output of the next command in order to find what versions do you have:

Solution 2: Install Node.js with nvm on Linux Mint

The second way which is better and my preferred one is installing nvm and using it to install node.

Step 2.1 Install nvm on Linux Mint

The nvm installation guide is available on : nvm Install & Update Script. So in order to install nvm on Linux Mint you can follow. Get the latest installation script from the page above:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.37.2/install.sh | bash 

Note 1: this will download and run the script. If you like you can download it, review it and then install it.

Note 2: You need to start a new terminal or run command: source ~/.bashrc in order to use nvm command.

Step 2.2 List Node versions with nvm

There are many different node packages available. In order to list all of them with nvm you can use command:

 v14.14.0 v14.15.0 (LTS: Fermium) -> v14.15.1 (Latest LTS: Fermium) v15.0.0 v15.0.1 v15.1.0 v15.2.0 v15.2.1 v15.3.0 v15.4.0 

Step 2.3 Install Node.js with nvm

When you find what version you like to use then you can install it by:

Step 2.4 Use multiple Node.js versions with nvm

It’s common to have several Node.js versions. The best way to manage them is with nvm . Local Node.js versions can be listed by:

 v12.18.3 -> v14.15.1 system default -> node (-> v14.15.1) iojs -> N/A (default) unstable -> N/A (default) node -> stable (-> v14.15.1) (default) stable -> 14.15 (-> v14.15.1) (default) lts/* -> lts/fermium (-> v14.15.1) lts/argon -> v4.9.1 (-> N/A) lts/boron -> v6.17.1 (-> N/A) lts/carbon -> v8.17.0 (-> N/A) lts/dubnium -> v10.23.0 (-> N/A) lts/erbium -> v12.20.0 (-> N/A) lts/fermium -> v14.15.1 

If you need to change the default one you can do it by:

Finally, check the Node version by:

Installing Node.js via package manager

Note: The packages on this page are maintained and supported by their respective packagers, not the Node.js core team. Please report any issues you encounter to the package maintainer. If it turns out your issue is a bug in Node.js itself, the maintainer will report the issue upstream.

Alpine Linux

Node.js LTS and npm packages are available in the Main Repository.

Node.js Current can be installed from the Community Repository.

Android

Android support is still experimental in Node.js, so precompiled binaries are not yet provided by Node.js developers.

However, there are some third-party solutions. For example, Termux community provides terminal emulator and Linux environment for Android, as well as own package manager and extensive collection of many precompiled applications. This command in Termux app will install the last available Node.js version:

Currently, Termux Node.js binaries are linked against system-icu (depending on libicu package).

Arch Linux

Node.js and npm packages are available in the Community Repository.

CentOS, Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Node.js is available as a module called nodejs in CentOS/RHEL 8 and Fedora.

dnf module install nodejs:

where corresponds to the major version of Node.js. To see a list of available streams:

For example, to install Node.js 18:

dnf module install nodejs:18/common 

Alternatives

These resources provide packages compatible with CentOS, Fedora, and RHEL.

Debian and Ubuntu based Linux distributions

Alternatives

Packages compatible with Debian and Ubuntu based Linux distributions are available via Node.js snaps.
