How To Install Node.js on Fedora 35

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Node.js on Fedora 35. For those of you who didn’t know, Node.js is an open-source cross-platform, backend javascript runtime environment that runs on the V8 engine and executes javascript code outside of a web browser. Node.js 16 is available for testers and guys who like working with the current latest releases of Node.js.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of Node.js on a Fedora 35.

• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
