# Installation of Node.js and NPM in Alma Linux
## **Install Node.js and NPM**
## **Prerequisites:-**
To follow this guide, you will need an Alma Linux setup
Install Node from the EPEL Repository
### Update && upgrade server
```
yum update -y && yum upgrade -y
```
### Accessing the EPEL Repository
To access the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository, you need to adjust your system's repository settings. This can be easily done by installing the `epel-release` package from your current repositories. This package configures your system to access the EPEL repo.
```
sudo yum install epel-release -y
```
### Install Nodejs
Having added the EPEL repository, you can now install Node.js via your standard `yum` commands:
```
sudo yum install nodejs -y
```
To confirm the installation was successful, you can ask Node to display its version number:
```
node --version
```
### Install NPM
To manage Node packages, you'll likely need **npm**, which can be installed from EPEL with the following command:
```
sudo yum install npm -y
```
To confirm the installation was successful, you can ask **npm** to display its version number:
```
npm --version
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.neevcloud.com/neevcloud-guide/neevcloud-knowledgebase/install-node.js-and-npm-on-linux/installation-of-node.js-and-npm-in-alma-linux.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
