Node.js is a popular Javascript platform for server-side programming that allows you to build and run web apps quickly. In a past guide, we discussed how to install Node.js on an Ubuntu 14.04 server.
In this guide, we will talk about how to use npm, a Node.js package management system, to manage Node.js packages on your server. Using this utility, you can easily satisfy application dependencies, search for packages, and manage installations.
We’ll assume that you have both Node.js and npm installed. You can follow the guide above to get these running on Ubuntu 14.04. I recommend using the nvm method covered in that tutorial.
If you just want to get started quickly, you can also find the packages in Ubuntu 14.04’s repositories and install them by typing:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
