How to install npm on linux?

@sallie 

To install npm on a Linux system, you will need to have Node.js installed first. If you do not have Node.js installed, you can install it using the package manager of your Linux distribution.

For example, on a Debian or Ubuntu system, you can use the following command to install Node.js:

1

sudo apt-get install nodejs

On a CentOS or Fedora system, you can use the following command to install Node.js:

1

sudo yum install nodejs

Once you have Node.js installed, npm will also be installed automatically. You can check the version of npm by running the following command:

1

npm -v

This will print the version number of npm to the console.

Alternatively, you can also install npm by downloading the latest version of Node.js from the official website (https://nodejs.org/) and following the installation instructions provided there. This will install both Node.js and npm on your system.

Alternatively, you can also install Node.js and npm using a package manager like nvm (Node Version Manager). To install nvm, follow the instructions on the nvm GitHub page: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#installing-and-updating. Once nvm is installed, you can use it to install and manage multiple versions of Node.js and npm on your system.
