- \fBinstall\fR \- Download and install node and npm
- .SS Description
- .P
- To publish and install packages to and from the public npm registry, you
- must install Node\.js and the npm command line interface using either a Node
- version manager or a Node installer\. \fBWe strongly recommend using a Node
- version manager to install Node\.js and npm\.\fR We do not recommend using a
- Node installer, since the Node installation process installs npm in a
- directory with local permissions and can cause permissions errors when you
- run npm packages globally\.
