Installing NPM on AWS EC2

Question

Working on Ec2 on AWS.

I have installed Node.js and it works fine.

But the problem arises when trying to install npm.

I am using the following command to

Answer 1

Firstly

sudo yum install make

You can run this to get zip of desired version of node

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.10.0/node-v8.10.0.tar.gz

Then you can unzip it like this

tar -xvf node-v8.10.0.tar.gz

then go in to the extracted directory and install node like this

./configure && make && sudo make install

Answer 2

sudo yum install nodejs npm --enablerepo=epel

Answer 3

git clone https://github.com/isaacs/npm.git cd npm sudo make install

And if you don't have git, do this first: sudo yum install git

Answer 4

This guide worked perfectly: https://tecadmin.net/install-latest-nodejs-amazon-linux/

1. Make sure you have make

# sudo yum install -y gcc-c++ make

2. Install source

# curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -

3. Install node

# sudo yum install -y nodejs

Note - you'll have to run sudo npm install to get the installs to work.

Answer 6

To install NodeJS 6.x execute the following commands:

curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | 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 10 (or any other version) do the following:

rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/nodesource-el*
curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
yum install nodejs --enablerepo=nodesource
