Node.js is a software platform that transforms JavaScript from a highly specialized language into a general-purpose language. Node.js adds the ability for JavaScript to interact with input/output devices via its API (written in C++), to connect other external libraries written in different languages, providing calls to them from JavaScript code. Node.js is used primarily on the server, acting as a web server, but there is an opportunity to develop in Node.js and desktop window applications (using NW.js, AppJS or Electron for Linux, Windows and Mac OS)
Installation from standard repositories
To do this, download the code from website project. On the download page, right-click the "Source Code" link and select "Copy link address".
Then use wget and paste the link to download the archive:
wget https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-v10.x/node-v10.20.1.tar.gz
[root@kvmde54-19861 ~]# wget https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-v10.x/node-v10.20.1.tar.gz
--2020-05-13 15:57:37-- https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-v10.x/node-v10.20.1.tar.gz

Unpack the archive and go to the new directory:
tar xzvf node-v* && cd node-v*
Download some packages from the CentOS repositories using yum:
sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++
Now we can configure and compile the software:
./configure
make
This will take a while to compile. When it is finished, we will install the software:
sudo make install
You can ask Node to display the version number to check the installation:
[root@kvmde54-19861 ~]# node --version
v10.20.1
Installing Node with NVM
This program allows you to simultaneously install and support different independent versions of Node.js, as well as related Node packages.
To install NVM on CentOS 7, you need to visit the project page on GitHub. Copy the curl or wget command from the README file displayed on the main page. Here you can also find the latest version of the installation script.
Before you convert the command to bash, it is advisable to test the script to make sure that it will not execute anything superfluous. To do this, delete the segment in the curl command:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh
[root@kvmde54-19861 ~]# curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
{ # this ensures the entire script is downloaded #
nvm_has() {
type "$1" > /dev/null 2>&1
}
nvm_default_install_dir() {
[ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm"
}
nvm_install_dir() {
if [ -n "$NVM_DIR" ]; then
printf %s "${NVM_DIR}"
else
nvm_default_install_dir
fi
}
nvm_latest_version() {
echo "v0.35.3"
}
nvm_profile_is_bash_or_zsh() {
local TEST_PROFILE
TEST_PROFILE="${1-}"
case "${TEST_PROFILE-}" in
*"/.bashrc" | *"/.bash_profile" | *"/.zshrc")
return
;;
*)
return 1
;;
esac
}
#
# Outputs the location to NVM depending on:
# # The availability of $NVM_SOURCE
# # The method used ("script" or "git" in the script, defaults to "git")
# NVM_SOURCE always takes precedence unless the method
Review the actions of the script and make sure there are no unnecessary tasks it will perform
After that you can add | bash to the command again
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh | bash
[root@kvmde54-19861 ~]# curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh | bash

=> Appending nvm source string to /root/.bashrc
=> Appending bash_completion source string to /root/.bashrc
=> Close and reopen your terminal to start using nvm or run the following to use it now:
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion
This will install the nvm script on the server. To use this script. Execute the command:
source ~/.bash_profile
You can now ask the NVM for known versions of the Node:
nvm list-remote
[root@kvmde54-19861 ~]# nvm list-remote
