Installing NodeJS & NPM
### Step 1
Open a terminal window and update the package manager's cache by running the following command:
sudo apt update
Step 2
Install Node, which is required for Discord.js
sudo apt-get install nodejs
Step 3
Install the Node Package Manager, which is used to install the Discord.js library.
sudo apt-get install npm
Step 4
Install Node Version Manager (nvm), which is used to update Node.js.
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.37.2/install.sh | bash
Step 5
To verify the version of Node.js that you have installed, you can run the following command in your terminal:
node -v
This command will output the version number of Node.js that you have installed on your system. It is a good idea to check the version number after installing Node.js to make sure that the installation was successful.
If you want to check the version of npm (the Node.js package manager), you can run the following command:
npm -v
This will output the version number of npm that is installed on your system. It is a good practice to check the version of npm after installing it to make sure that it is working properly.
Step 6
We are going to update node.js to the recommend version to use for Discord Bots by Peak Modifications as this is what it was built on.
nvm install 16.13.2
Great Job! You have installed NodeJS, NPM, and NVM. Now you can continue to the Documentation of the product that you have purchased on starting the Bot
