Install Node on Linux

The following will probably also work on a Mac.

Install NVM

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

(check for the latest version of nvm here: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)

Then reload the shell configuration

source ~/.bashrc

Check that nvm is installed

nvm -v

Install Node

Use nvm to install the version of node needed. For example:

nvm install --lts

Check that node is installed

node -v

Done!
