Node Package Manager (npm) recommends installing Node.js with Node Version Manager (nvm) to avoid permission errors when installing globally.

  1. Use curl or wget to install nvm:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
 
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
  1. Make sure nvm is properly installed. You may need to reload the terminal for the command to take effect.
nvm --version
  1. Use nvm to install a compatible version of Node.js. For example, to install Node.js v12, run
nvm install 12
  1. Run node --version to confirm that Node.js has been properly installed.

Windows

TronBox recommends using the installer from the website of Node.js.

Make sure that you agree to automatically install the necessary tools during installation so that the required Visual Studio build tools, Python, and Chocolately package manager can be installed.
