Node.js is an open-source and cross platform Javascript framework. JavaScript is a popular programming language for building web applications. Node.js allows frontend developers using JavaScript to build the backend without using a different programming language. NPM is a software package manager for NodeJS that allows developers to share useful JavaScript libraries and packages.<\/p>\n

In this guide you will learn how to install Node.JS & NPM on Debian 11.<\/p>\n

Option 1: Install Node.js & NPM from Debian repository<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Node.js and npm are available in the default debian repositories. They can simply be installed with the commands:<\/p>\n

$ sudo apt update<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Using the APT package manager, install NodeJS and NPM as follows:<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt install nodejs npm<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
This install Node.JS alongside a bunch of libraries and dependencies. This might take a while and it\u2019s advisable that you have a good internet connection.<\/p>\n
Option 2: Install Node.js from source<\/strong><\/h2>\n
You can build and compile Node.js from source. This is the best option if you wish to install a specific version of Node.js. In this step we are going to install Node.js from source. First, add the repository to Debian 11 with the command:<\/p>\n
$ curl -fsSL https:\/\/deb.nodesource.com\/setup_17.x | sudo -E bash -<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Here\u2019s an snippet of the output. The seup script add the GPG signing key and proceeds to create a sources list file for the Node.JS repository in the \/etc\/apt\/sources.list<\/strong> file.<\/p>\n
Then it updates the package index to sync with the newly appended Node.JS repository.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At the tail-end of the output, you are provided with the next steps to take – which is to install Node.JS and NPM.<\/p>\n
So, go ahead and install Node.JS 17 and npm with the command:<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt install nodejs<\/strong><\/pre>\n
As before, this installs NodeJS alongside a bucketload of other libraries and dependencies. To confirm NodeJS is installed, run:<\/p>\n
$ node \u2014-version<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
Also, you can verify npm version as shown.<\/p>\n
$ npm \u2014-version<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
If you are interested in installing Yarn package manager, first add the GPG key<\/p>\n
$ curl -sL https:\/\/dl.yarnpkg.com\/debian\/pubkey.gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee \/usr\/share\/keyrings\/yarnkey.gpg >\/dev\/null<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Then add the Yarn repository to the sources list file.<\/p>\n
$ echo \"deb [signed-by=\/usr\/share\/keyrings\/yarnkey.gpg] https:\/\/dl.yarnpkg.com\/debian stable main\" | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/yarn.list<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Finally, update the package index to refresh the repositories<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt-get update<\/strong><\/pre>\n
Thereafter, as instructed, install Yarn using APT package manager.<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt install yarn<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
