We need to install Node.js in our Linux system because the package we are going to install in our system requires `npx` and we know that both `npm` and `npx` are typically installed along with Node.js.

Extract the Node.js package:

tar -xvf node-v18.16.0-linux-x64.tar.gz

The tar command is used to extract the contents of the downloaded tarball.

Move the Node.js directory:

sudo mv node-v18.16.0-linux-x64 /usr/local/

Here, the mv command is used to move the extracted Node.js directory to the /usr/local directory. The /usr/local directory is commonly used for locally installed software.

Create symbolic links:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/node-v18.16.0-linux-x64/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node

sudo ln -s /usr/local/node-v18.16.0-linux-x64/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm

These commands create symbolic links (ln -s) that point to the Node.js executable (node) and the Node Package Manager (npm) in the /usr/local/bin directory. This step allows you to run Node.js and npm from anywhere in the system.

Verifying the installation:

node -vnpm -v

These commands will display the installed versions of Node.js and npm, respectively.
