Deploy NodeJS on Rocky Linux 8

#### Prerequisites Before you begin, ensure you have: - A server running Rocky Linux 8 - A user account with sudo privileges - Basic familiarity with the command line #### Step 1: Install Node.js Using NVM (Node Version Manager) First, install NVM (Node Version Manager), which simplifies Node.js installation and management: ```bash curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash ``` Close and reopen your terminal to start using NVM, or run: ```bash source ~/.bashrc ``` #### Step 2: Install Node.js Use NVM to install the latest LTS (Long-Term Support) version of Node.js: ```bash nvm install --lts ``` This command installs the latest LTS version of Node.js. You can also install a specific version by replacing `--lts` with the version number, like `14.17.0`. #### Step 3: Verify Node.js Installation Verify that Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) are installed correctly: ```bash node --version npm --version ``` You should see output similar to: ``` v14.17.0 6.14.13 ``` #### Step 4: Set Default Node.js Version (Optional) If you installed multiple Node.js versions using NVM, set the default version to use: ```bash nvm alias default ``` Replace `` with the version you want to use by default, such as `lts/*` for the latest LTS version. #### Conclusion You have successfully deployed Node.js on Rocky Linux 8 using NVM. Node.js is now installed and ready for developing and running JavaScript applications on your server. **Additional Resources:** - **Node.js Official Documentation:** [https://nodejs.org/](https://nodejs.org/) - **NVM GitHub Repository:** [https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) - **Rocky Linux Documentation:** [https://docs.rockylinux.org/](https://docs.rockylinux.org/)
