source ~/.bash_profile # if you are using bash

# you can test with the following

NodeJS

NodeJS and NPM can be installed with Node Version Manager.  Complete documentation can be found at https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm, but the following is the minimum required to install and use NodeJS.

Code Block
languagebash
titleNodeJS
collapsetrue
# install Node Version Manager (NVM)
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

# install and use the latest stable version of NodeJS
nvm install --lts

# check install
nvm --version

# if the install didn't work, you may have to add the following to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bash_profile
export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
