# Installing node

• Pkg mngs often have older versions so follow the instructions below

  cd ~
  
  curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x -o /tmp/nodesource_setup.sh
  
  nano /tmp/nodesource_setup.sh
  
  sudo bash /tmp/nodesource_setup.sh
  
  sudo apt install nodejs
  

• Note: NPM gets installed alongside nodejs. Verify using npm -v and node -v
