curl -L https://git.io/n-install | bashThis is by far the simplest way to get started with both n and Node.js - even if you're looking to install only the latest stable Node.js version, with no (immediate) plans to install multiple versions.
n is installed as follows:
- The installation target is a dedicated directory, which defaults to
~/nand can be overridden with environment variableN_PREFIX; n itself as well as the active Node.js version are placed there.- When overriding, it is advisable to choose a user location - typically, a subfolder of
~(at any level) - so as to avoid the need to usesudofor installation of globalnpmpackages. - Either way, the target directory must either not exist yet or be empty.
- Using a dedicated directory to hold both
nand the Node.js versions greatly simplifies later uninstallation.
- When overriding, it is advisable to choose a user location - typically, a subfolder of
- If your shell is
bash,ksh, orzsh, the relevant shell initialization file is modified:- Environment variable
N_PREFIXis defined to point to the installation directory. - Directory
$N_PREFIX/binis appended to the$PATH, unless already present. - For other shells, these modification must be performed manually; instructions are provided during installation.
- You can also explicitly suppress modification with the
-noption.
- Environment variable
- By default, the latest stable Node.js version is installed; you can suppress that or even specify multiple Node.js versions to install.
- Note that any preexisting
n, Node.js installation must be removed before using this installation method. - All installation prerequisites are met by default on OSX and some Linux distros; notably,
gitandcurlmust be present - see Installing n for details. - After installation, be sure to open a new terminal tab or window or reload your shell initialization file before attempting to use
n/ Node.js - see
See examples below, and Installing n for prerequisites and installation options.
Examples
See Installation options for details.
- Installation with confirmation prompt to default location
$HOME/nand installation of the latest stable Node.js version:
curl -L https://git.io/n-install | bash- Automated installation to default location
$HOME/nand installation of the latest stable Node.js version:
curl -L https://git.io/n-install | bash -s -- -y- Automated, quiet installation to default location
$HOME/nand installation of the latest stable Node.js version; no status information
is displayed:
curl -sL https://git.io/n-install | bash -s -- -q- Automated installation to the default location, with subsequent installation of the latest LTS
(Long Term Support) version, and the latest 0.10.x release:
curl -L https://git.io/n-install | bash -s -- -y lts 0.10- Automated installation to custom location
~/util/n, with subsequent installation of the latest stable Node.js version:
curl -L https://git.io/n-install | N_PREFIX=~/util/n bash -s -- -yInstalling n
Supported platforms and prerequisites
Among the platforms supported by n, any Unix-like platform with the following is supported:
This is awesome - exactly what I was looking for. I used option one ('cause I'm lazy and wanted to get on to the hacking) - for those on OSX, install XCode first. Also, I ended up getting a 301 Moved Permanently error but I just did subbed in:
curl -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
and now it looks like I'm gtg.
@isaacs the second one works, if your macbook/iMAc doesn't allow the git clone just download the zip of node/npm and you can do the remaining from the downloads itself. It works, Thanks.
I am on RHEL 7. What does the final line in the 30 seconds procedure do: curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
I keep getting registry.npmjs.org error and fails because I am behind a proxy and I would have to fix it. Do I need it?
It seems my node --version and npm --version shows shows the latest version anyway when I run them.
I am using CentOS 7 and ran first script. I ran the last script as:
curl -k -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
when i tried checking the version says: no such file or directory.
Well, it took longer than 5 minutes for me to install with step 1.
I don't know why people don't use ...
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy npm
Edit:: Oh I tried. It installs node 3.X in Ubuntu 16.04.
Also, if you quickly want to install (as I did):
Step 1:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_9.x | sudo -E bash -(latest)
Now, install it
Step 2:
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
To install other versions of node, follow this guide.
It looks like one person used the method I mentioned earlier in this thread. I'll post this again because problems need solutions. 🚀
Make sure you follow the instructions if you already have node and npm installed.
How do I uninstall if I installed with the 1st way?
node-and-npm-in-30-seconds.sh
CentOS 7
You may want to change the npm install url to: https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh
from here: https://gist.github.com/isaacs/579814#file-node-and-npm-in-30-seconds-sh-L9
And to update @eltrhn 's comment, the npm github repository link should now read git://github.com/npm/cli.git
cd npm will thus also need changing to cd cli.
Thanks you for compiling this, it helped!
yet-another-option.sh needs the -L option for curl now.
echo prefix = ~/local >> ~/.npmrc
curl -L https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | s
@dreaddymck The correct command would be ...
curl -L https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
Method one works fine on Debian Stretch. Really helpful !!!
After I got PhpStorm problem : Failed to run File Watcher 'Sass'. The watcher has been disabled.
So I needed to do :
ln -s /home/yourname/local/bin/node /usr/bin/node
Still working @sethbergman - cheers!
Any suggestions, followed method 1 and all successful until the end of the make process: ./deps/zlib/deflate.c:54:10: fatal error: 'contrib/optimizations/insert_string.h' file not found. Any suggestions? Had been running for 30+ mins prior to the error.
Below are the simple steps to proceed with the installation
Open Terminal
Run command to install nodejs : sudo apt install nodejs
Run command to verify installation by checking version: node -v or node –version
Run command to install npm: sudo apt install npm
Run command to verify installation of npm: npm -v or npm –version
