NodeJs to put it simply is an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment for developing server-side web application.

Npm is the a package manager for javascript using to install and run things Such as Grunt

How to install using git

I usually find the easiest way to install both NodeJs and NPM on linux systems is straight from git. It provides the latest version and allows for patches to node and npm to be updated using pull requests and more from git, either way that’s out of scope for this tutorial so keeping it simple.

Open up a terminal and type the following


# Make our directory to keep it all in

mkdir ~/local

# Add the location to our path so that we can call it with bash

echo ‘export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH’ >> ~/.bashrc

Now we can start with downloading and compiling

NodeJs First


git clone git://github.com/nodejs/node.git

cd node

./configure –-prefix=~/local

make install

cd ..

Now NPM (Node Package Manager)


git clone git://github.com/npm/npm.git

cd npm

make install

cd ../

and that’s it we are done . . .
Testing our installation

Open up a command prompt and type


node –version

npm -v

Both should return a version number at the time of writing this I got npm v3.5.4 and NodeJs v6.0.0-pre
