It is designed for non-blocking, event-driven servers and primarily used for traditional web sites and back-end API services. It allows you to build network applications quickly. It makes development more consistent by leveraging JavaScript on both the front and backend. npm is the Node.js registry and package manager. It is used to publish, discover, install, and develop node programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this tutorial, we will show you several ways to install Node.js and npm on Ubuntu 20.04 server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6631e3149e48f\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6631e3149e48f\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-node-js-and-npm-on-ubuntu-20-04\/#Prerequisites\" title=\"Prerequisites\">Prerequisites<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-node-js-and-npm-on-ubuntu-20-04\/#Log-in-to-the-Server-Update-the-Server-OS-Packages\" title=\"Log in to the Server &amp; Update the Server OS Packages\">Log in to the Server &amp; Update the Server OS Packages<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-node-js-and-npm-on-ubuntu-20-04\/#Install-Nodejs-and-npm-from-Ubuntu-Repository\" title=\"Install Node.js and npm from Ubuntu Repository\">Install Node.js and npm from Ubuntu Repository<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-node-js-and-npm-on-ubuntu-20-04\/#Install-Nodejs-and-npm-from-NodeSource\" title=\"Install Node.js and npm from NodeSource\">Install Node.js and npm from NodeSource<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-node-js-and-npm-on-ubuntu-20-04\/#Install-Nodejs-and-npm-with-NVM\" title=\"Install Node.js and npm with NVM\">Install Node.js and npm with NVM<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prerequisites\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prerequisites\"><\/span>Prerequisites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>An Ubuntu 20.04 VPS (we\u2019ll be using our SSD 2 VPS plan)<\/li><li>Access to the root user account (or access to an admin account with root privileges)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-log-in-to-the-server-update-the-server-os-packages\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Log-in-to-the-Server-Update-the-Server-OS-Packages\"><\/span>Log in to the Server &amp; Update the Server OS Packages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, log in to your Ubuntu 20.04 server via SSH as the root user:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">ssh root@IP_Address -p Port_number<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need to replace \u2018IP_Address\u2018 and \u2018Port_number\u2018 with your server\u2019s respective IP address and SSH port number. Additionally, replace \u2018root\u2019 with the username of the admin account if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting, you have to make sure that all Ubuntu OS packages installed on the server are up to date. You can do this by running the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get update -y\napt-get upgrade -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-install-node-js-and-npm-from-ubuntu-repository\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install-Nodejs-and-npm-from-Ubuntu-Repository\"><\/span>Install Node.js and npm from Ubuntu Repository<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The simple and easiest way to install Node.js and npm is to install them from the Ubuntu default repository. However, it does not contains the latest Node.js version. At the time of writing this tutorial, the latest Node.js version available in the Ubuntu 20.04 is 10.19.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, update the system packages by running the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get update -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all the packages are updated, install the Node.js and npm with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get install nodejs npm -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once both packages are installed, verify the Node.js version using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">node -v<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">v10.19.0\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also check the npm version using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">npm -v<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">6.14.4\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-install-node-js-and-npm-from-nodesource\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install-Nodejs-and-npm-from-NodeSource\"><\/span>Install Node.js and npm from NodeSource<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NodeSource maintains an APT repository and contains multiple Node.js versions. It allows you to install the specific version of Node.js in your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this section, we will install Node.js v14.x from the NodeSource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, install the curl with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get install curl -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, download and run the Node.js installation script by running the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">curl -sL https:\/\/deb.nodesource.com\/setup_14.x | bash -<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This will add the GPG key and Node.js repository to the APT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, install the Node.js version 14.x by running the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get install nodejs -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, verify the installed version of Node.js with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">node -v<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">v14.15.1\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also verify the npm version with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">npm -v<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Yu should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">6.14.8\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-install-node-js-and-npm-with-nvm\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install-Nodejs-and-npm-with-NVM\"><\/span>Install Node.js and npm with NVM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NVM also know as &#8220;Node Version Manager&#8221; is a script that allows you to manage multiple version of Node.js.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you will need to download and install NVM in your system. You can download and run the script manually with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">curl -o- https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/nvm-sh\/nvm\/v0.37.2\/install.sh | bash<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, you should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current\n                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed\n100 13527  100 13527    0     0   528k      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  528k\n=&gt; Downloading nvm as script to '\/root\/.nvm'\n\n=&gt; Appending nvm source string to \/root\/.bashrc\n=&gt; Appending bash_completion source string to \/root\/.bashrc\n=&gt; Close and reopen your terminal to start using nvm or run the following to use it now:\n\nexport NVM_DIR=\"$HOME\/.nvm\"\n[ -s \"$NVM_DIR\/nvm.sh\" ] &amp;&amp; \\. \"$NVM_DIR\/nvm.sh\"  # This loads nvm\n[ -s \"$NVM_DIR\/bash_completion\" ] &amp;&amp; \\. \"$NVM_DIR\/bash_completion\"  # This loads nvm bash_completion\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you will need to close and reopen the terminal to add the path to nvm script to the current shell session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, verify the NVM version with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nvm --version<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">0.37.2\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can list all Node.js version that can be installed with NVM using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nvm list-remote<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This command will show you a long list of all Node.js versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, install the latest stable version of Node.js with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nvm install node<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Downloading and installing node v15.3.0...\nDownloading https:\/\/nodejs.org\/dist\/v15.3.0\/node-v15.3.0-linux-x64.tar.xz...\n######################################################################################################################################## 100.0%\nComputing checksum with sha256sum\nChecksums matched!\nNow using node v15.3.0 (npm v7.0.14)\nCreating default alias: default -&gt; node (-&gt; v15.3.0)\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the installation is completed, verify the Node.js version with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">node --version<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">v15.3.0\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to install the latest LTS version, run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nvm install --lts<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now list all installed Node.js versions using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nvm ls<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">-&gt;     v14.15.1\n        v15.3.0\ndefault -&gt; node (-&gt; v15.3.0)\nnode -&gt; stable (-&gt; v15.3.0) (default)\nstable -&gt; 15.3 (-&gt; v15.3.0) (default)\niojs -&gt; N\/A (default)\nunstable -&gt; N\/A (default)\nlts\/* -&gt; lts\/fermium (-&gt; v14.15.1)\nlts\/argon -&gt; v4.9.1 (-&gt; N\/A)\nlts\/boron -&gt; v6.17.1 (-&gt; N\/A)\nlts\/carbon -&gt; v8.17.0 (-&gt; N\/A)\nlts\/dubnium -&gt; v10.23.0 (-&gt; N\/A)\nlts\/erbium -&gt; v12.20.0 (-&gt; N\/A)\nlts\/fermium -&gt; v14.15.1\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to switch the current Node.js version, run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nvm use 14.15.1<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Now using node v14.15.1 (npm v6.14.8)\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>In the above guide, you learned three different ways to install Node.js on Ubuntu 20.04 server.
