Setting up Node


Like Docker, there is also an installation script for Node and it’s probably the easiest way to install it. Unfortunately also this script doesn’t work for Arch Linux.

Run the following commands to install node on Debian.

sudo apt-get install -y curl

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x -o nodesource_setup.sh

bash nodesource_setup.sh

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Setting up Node on Arch Linux

Run the following command(s),

sudo pacman -S nodejs npm

Install Node Version Manager (optional)

Run the following command(s) to install nvm and the latest lts version of node.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.4/install.sh | bash

source ~/.bashrc

nvm install --lts

Note: The above commands should work for both Debian and Arch Linux.
