This blog post explains how to install Node.js on Ubuntu 26.04. Node.js is a free and open-source JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to execute JavaScript code outside of a web browser. Before Node.js was developed, JavaScript was client-side-only for adding interactivity to web pages, but after Node.js, it moved to the backend, allowing developers to use a single language for client- and server-side development. Besides this, Node.js is event-driven and non-blocking, handles thousands of concurrent connections, is cross-platform, runs on multiple operating systems, and includes a set of built-in modules.
Installing Node.js on Ubuntu 26.04 is a straightforward process that may take different amounts of time depending on how we use it. Let’s get started!
