# 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
```
