Question

How do you install NodeJS using the command line?

 

Answer

The Application Manager in cPanel allows users to deploy Phusion Passenger applications, including NodeJS apps. To install a cPanel-provided version of NodeJS on your system, you'll need to install the supporting packages. This article provides the steps to install those packages.

Note: CloudLinux allows users to use multiple versions of NodeJS through NodeJS Selector, so CloudLinux users may wish to install the CloudLinux-provided version of NodeJS instead.

AlmaLinux 8/9

Note: In the following commands, "$nodeversion" must be replaced with the desired NodeJS version (i.e., ea-nodejs16, ea-nodejs18, or ea-nodejs20).

  1. Access the server's command line as the 'root' user via SSH or Terminal in WHM.

  2. Use dnf to install the needed packages:

    # dnf install ea-apache24-mod_env ea-ruby27-mod_passenger $nodeversion

  3. Verify that NodeJS has been installed correctly:

    # /opt/cpanel/$nodeversion/bin/node -v
