linkInstalling Node.js On Ubuntu 20.04

There are several ways to install Node and npm on Ubuntu and it can be found here. I prefer using the third option which was using the Node Version Manager. Complete instructions for NVM can be found here.

linkInstall and update script

Run either one of these commands:

1link$curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash

2link$

3link$wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash

linkSource your shell

Depending on the shell you are using, run of these commands:

1link$source ~/.bashrc  # --> bash

2link$source ~/.zshrc   # --> zsh

3link$. ~/.profile      # --> ksh

linkTesting

1link$nvm -v

 0.39.0  # --> or whatever the latest version is
