# 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
```
