# Installation of Node.js and NPM in Alma Linux

In this guide, we will show you how to install Node.js and npm on Alma Linux, providing simple steps for seamless development setup. Get started quickly!

## **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
```
