Installing Node.js

Download the latest LTS vertion from the official Node.js website. Choose the Linux binaries archive, then extract it.

Move the extracted folder to the software installation directory:

mv node-v14.17.1-linux-x64 /usr/local/soft/

Create symbolic links for node and npm:

ln -s /usr/local/soft/node-v14.17.1-linux-x64/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node
ln -s /usr/local/soft/node-v14.17.1-linux-x64/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm

Verify the installations:

node -v
npm -v

Configuring cnpm (Optional)

Install cnpm to use the Taobao NPM mirror:

npm install -g cnpm --registry=https://registry.npmmirror.com/

If the mirror fails during installation, search for latest mirror URL and replace the one after --registry=.

Create a symbolic link:

ln -s /usr/local/soft/node-v14.17.1-linux-x64/bin/cnpm /usr/local/bin/cnpm

Test the setup:

cnpm -v
