Ubuntu

If you use Ubuntu or some distro based on it know that not always the nodejs LTS version of the Ubuntu repositories is the latest one, so I recommend following the instructions below:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs

The nodejs package already installs npm
