Setup a node.js env in WSL

I was trying to install nodejs in WSL for Emulating a server enviourment for creating and test a code before deploying into server. I was able to install the node successfully, but had issue with using npm. After a lot searching I was able to fix the issue by using nvm, here I am sharing the step for the same hope it helps.

I had also uninstalled the nodejs before proceding the nvm installation, here are commands for to perform the same:

  1. removing nodejs

    sudo get-apt remove nodejs

  2. update the pakages

    sudo apt-get update

  3. Install NVM

    curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

  4. Reload shell

    source ~/.bashrc

  5. Install the required node version

    nvm install v<version number>

Reference

  1. Installing Node.js with nvm to Linux & macOS & WSL
