Answer 1

1. Install nvm (Node Version Manager)

    yay -S nvm
   

2. Load nvm

    source /usr/share/nvm/init-nvm.sh
   

3. You can also add the above line in your environment file such as .bashrc so you won’t have to do it every time.

4. Install Node.js and npm

    nvm -g install npm
   

5. Test your setup – open a new terminal and install a package using npm

    $ nvm use stable
    $ nvm -g install browser-sync
    $ browser-sync start --server

on the 3rd point, he gives me the fact that I did not specify the command / flag correctly. using the command suggested reverts me to the original problem.nvm install-latest-npm Attempting to upgrade to the latest working version of npm... node: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.67: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Unable to obtain node version. – Esme

use sudo while using npm commands. and also there's a mistake..please use npm instead of nvm – Erle

@GulshanYadav. In 4th point, nvm install npm too? – Anthropologist

Answer 2

I found that you need to install both nodejs and npm from the package manager. If you first install npm however, node is automatically installed as a dependency.

yay -S npm

Modified from Gulshan Yadav's answer.

1. Install nvm (Node Version Manager)

2. Load nvm & add executable to bashrc

source /usr/share/nvm/init-nvm.sh
echo '[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"' | tee -a ~/.bashrc

3. Install Node.js and npm

nvm install stable

4. Test your setup
