Add to favorites

First off you need access to the server terminal. Or SSH acces. If you have that then you can proceed. Else go get your Login permissions or SSH access.

Connect to your server using SSH or Cpanel terminal.

Run the following curl command to download the Node.js source code:bashCopy code

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash 

This will download the nvm (Node Version Manager) installation script and pipe it to the bash shell to run the script.

Once the installation is complete, run the following command to load nvm:bashCopy code

source ~/.bashrc

This will activate the nvm environment so you can install Node.js and npm.

Run the following command to install the latest version of Node.js

nvm install node

This will install the latest stable version of Node.js and npm.

Verify that Node.js and npm are installed correctly by running the following commands

node -v 
npm -v

These commands should output the versions of Node.js and npm installed on your server

Keep in mind that the above steps may not work on all shared hosting providers, and some providers may not allow you to install additional software on their servers. It’s always a good idea to check with your hosting provider before attempting to install software on a shared hosting server.
