Install nvm (Node Version Manager)

1
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.29.0/install.sh | bash

If that fail, try manual install:

1
git clone https://github.com/creationix/nvm.git ~/.nvm && cd ~/.nvm && git checkout `git describe --abbrev=0 --tags`

Then add these lines to ~/.bashrc, ~/profile, or ~/.zshrc:

1
2
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

At last, reopen your terminal or logout and login again.

Install Node and npm

nvm bundles node with npm (node package manager), so you only need to install node.
