Couldn't Install Npm On Ubuntu
Answer :
This looks like you probably installed the chris-lea node.js ppa which is fine. However, you don't install npm from that ppa as it breaks the way debian packages work. Instead, just install nodejs
. Once that's installed, run npm -v
you should see it's now installed. If you didn't use the chris-lea ppa update your question on what webpage you Googled to find out how to install nodejs on Ubuntu.
Try installing NodeJs like this:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
Since NodeJs installs node and npm
Apt doesn't handle dependancy conflicts well, use snap or aptitude;
sudo aptitude install npm
I had to press "no" to the first solution it proposed, which did not include installing npm (that must be a bug in aptitude) then the second solution I pressed yes
to
hTHen check npm was installed:
npm --version
