Installing NPM on AWS EC2

To install NodeJS 6.x execute the following commands:

curl -sL

| sudo -E bash -
yum install nodejs --enablerepo=nodesource

**Update**

You can install NodeJS 7 and 8 in the same way. Just specify the version you need instead of 6 in the command above.

**Update**

To update to NodeJS 16 (or any other version) do the following:

rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/nodesource-el*
curl -sL

| sudo -E bash -
yum install nodejs --enablerepo=nodesource

**Follow this [AWS Tutorial](

) that uses [Node Version Manager](

).**

Node Version Manager (NVM) lets you install multiple versions of Node.js and switch between them.


----------

**Here are the steps:**

Install NVM

curl -o-

[To see links please register here]

| bash

Activate NVM

. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

Install Node (choose version)

nvm install 15.0.0

Confirm Successful Installation

node -e "console.log('Running Node.js ' + process.version)"

Latest version 18 has dependency I think..

```
node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by node)
```

Finally I got solution by running by running following commands.

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
nvm install 16.15.1

v16.15.1 node version and npm v v16.15.1 is installed.
For same make sure nvm is installed in your machine.
