How to install Node.js and Npm in Ubuntu 18.04 from default repository?

Today I will share with you guys how to install Nod.js and Npm in Ubuntu 18.04. I used the latest Ubuntu version but it’s compatible with previous versions as well. And your machine needs internet access to set up this.

To get latest Node.js and Npm version, u need to use apt and refresh your local package index first.
$ sudo apt update

Then, install the Node.
$ sudo apt install nodejs

Then, install the Npm.
$ sudo apt install npm

Check the Node and Npm version.
$ nodejs -v
$ npm-v

That’s it. I hope this will help. 🙂
