# Installing Node.js — Node.js

Source: https://www.geekswithgeeks.com/en/nodejs/node-install

> Get Node 20 LTS and check it's on your PATH.

## Check / install

Download the LTS build from nodejs.org, or use a version manager like `nvm`.

```bash
node --version    # e.g. v20.11.0
npm --version     # bundled with Node

# Using nvm:
nvm install 20
nvm use 20
```

## npm ships with Node

You don't install npm separately — it's bundled with every Node.js installer.
