Node.JS is a cross-platform , JavaScript runtime environment for executing Javascript code outside of a browser. Node.JS is commonly used to create backend services such as APIs which power client applications. Node.JS is used to build superfast, highly scalable, data-intensive, and real-time applications. Notable companies that leverage Node.JS to power their applications include Uber, PayPal, Netflix, LinkedIn and eBay to mention just a few.<\/p>\n

If you are running Rocky Linux 8.4, the following steps will help you install NodeJS.<\/p>\n

Check the NodeJS modules on AppStream repositories<\/strong><\/h2>\n

NodeJS is available in Rocky Linux AppStream repositories. To see the available NodeJS modules, run the following command:<\/p>\n

$ sudo dnf module list nodejs<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
From the output on the terminal, you can clearly see that the default module with a tag [d] is NodeJS 10 – which is not the latest version or up to date.<\/p>\n
Install the latest NodeJS release<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Therefore, to install the latest release of NodeJS, which at the time of this guide is NodeJS 14.x, invoke the command:<\/p>\n
$ sudo dnf module install nodejs:14<\/strong><\/pre>\n
This installs the latest NodeJS module alongside NPM ( Node Package Manager ) and other dependencies as shown in the output.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The installation of Node.JS proceeds and terminates successfully without any erros as shown below, as should be in your case.<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
Once complete, verify the NodeJS version as shown.<\/p>\n
$ node -v<\/strong><\/pre>\n
or<\/p>\n
$ node --version<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
And that\u2019s how you install NodeJS on Rocky Linux 8. You can now start building your backend services and deploying them.<\/p>\n
How to uninstall NodeJS <\/strong><\/h2>\n
To remove NodeJS from your system simply execute:<\/p>\n
$ sudo dnf module remove nodejs<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
To confirm that NodeJS is uninstalled, check the version once again.<\/p>\n
$ node -v<\/strong><\/pre>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
The output above confirms that NodeJS is uninstalled.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n
As you have noted, the installation of NodeJS is quite seamless and straightforward. This will work the same even on CentOS 8 from which Rocky Linux is based.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
