- Download the node.js binaries here:
https://nodejs.org/en/download/ - Extract the file:
$ tar xvf node-v8.10.0-linux-armv7l.tar.xz - (optional) Move the binaries to target path:
$ move node-v8.10.0-linux-armv7l /usr/local/lib/nodejs/ - Set path in ~/.profile
# Nodejs
export NODEJS_HOME=/usr/local/lib/nodejs/node-v8.10.0
export PATH=$NODEJS_HOME/bin:$PATH
Now source .profile, mkdir nodejs_test, npm init should create package.json. You can try
$ npm install express -save
to see if npm is working properly.
