Installing nodejs on your system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Run the below commands to quickly get started<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs<\/code>

in case you need specific version, the command be like below, otherwise continue from npm<\/code>:

curl -sL https:\/\/deb.nodesource.com\/setup_14.x | sudo bash -<\/code>

Now, check the nodesource list:

cat \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/nodesource.list
<\/code>
And, firing below command will install you specific version:
sudo apt -y install nodejs<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then check whether node is installed or not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

node -v<\/code>

If installed correctly, it should show node’s installed version [in my case, it is 14.15.4<\/em>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again check whether npm is installed or not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

npm -v<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above command shows version, if not, fire below command to get it installed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt-get install npm<\/code>

Once, installed check the version using npm -v<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Removing nodejs from your system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to uninstall proceed with the following steps, or if you want to reinstall then follow below steps and then again install it. So, let’s begin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt-get purge nodejs<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

above command will only remove the node related packages<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove nodejs<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This command will remove the dependencies which are not needed as we have uninstalled nodejs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collectively we can fire this command as<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove nodejs<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, in case, you need more cautions, proceed in two steps only [Recommended<\/em><\/strong>]:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt-get purge nodejs
sudo apt-get autoremove<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for being here, Hope you liked it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
