How to install npm build manager on LinuxLite OS

To install npm build manager on LinuxLiteOS you have first download an archive (you will get nodejs and npm) from https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm

After downloading unpack it:

$ tar -xvf node-v12.16.2-linux-x64.tar.xz -C /opt

Then let's take a look, what is inside:

$ ls /opt/node-v12.16.2-linux-x64/bin

what we see:

$ node  npm  npx

So, let's try to run them (if it works :):

So, now we are here:

$ /opt/node-v12.16.2-linux-x64/bin

In order to verify, if program is installed, it's enough to check the version:

$ ./node --version
$ v12.16.2

Node works! Good. Let's continue with npm and npx:

$ ./npm --version
6.14.4

npm works too.

$ ./npx --version
$ 6.14.4

npx works too.

Well done!
