Open Terminal
Install NodeJS via nvm:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.5/install.sh | bash
nvm install --lts
Install other dependencies:
Linux requires the X11 developement libraries and libpng
to build native Node modules.
Arch requires libffi
since it’s not installed by default.
sudo pacman -S install npm git python3 gcc make libx11 libxtst libpng libffi
To build RPMs, you need rpmbuild
sudo pacman -S install rpm
