🙋 Introduction

When working with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, configuring Node.js and NPM (Node Package Manager) is a common initial step for hosting web applications.

In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of setting up Node.js and NPM on an AWS Ubuntu EC2 instance.

📚 Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

  1. An AWS account with access to EC2.
  2. An Ubuntu EC2 instance launched and accessible.
  3. Configure PuTTY to establish a secure shell connection to your EC2 instance.

⚙️ Configure Ubuntu Server

Update the package list to ensure you get the latest version of available packages:

sudo apt update

🛠️ Install Node.js and NPM

  1. To install node.js, run the following command:

    sudo apt install nodejs
  2. To install npm, run the following command:

    sudo apt install npm
  3. The popup may display a message indicating that Daemons using outdated libraries; simply press the enter key or click on OK button.

  4. Run the following command to check the installed version of node.js and npm.

    sudo node -v
    sudo npm -v
    Verifying nodejs npm version
  5. It should be highlighted that the current version of Node.js is v20.10.0, whereas the installed version, v12.22.9, is considerably outdated.

    To upgrade the Node.js version, execute the subsequent commands individually and accurately.

    sudo npm install -g n  
    sudo n 20.10.0
    upgraded nodejs version

    Ensure you review the most recent version of Node.js on the official website.

🎉 Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully set up Node.js and NPM on your AWS Ubuntu EC2 instance.

You can now proceed to deploy and host your Node.js applications. Remember to configure security groups and take necessary precautions for production deployments.
