There’s two really annoying details about installing Narrat for us: The version of Node included in Apt is too old and NVM isn’t on Apt at all. You’ll need to use your search engine for their sources. Remember: Shift+CTRL+V for pasting into your terminal! Follow ALL directions on the sites.

  1. Install NodeJS via the script on their site, not the aptitude repository
  2. Repeat for “NodeJS version manager”

Remember to restart your computer, just to be sure.

Happy game development!

Yeah, definitely don’t install node via apt, it’s always super out of date and causes issues.

Best way to install node is via nvm, and while in the docs I link to nvm for windows since most people use windows, nvm started as a unix thing so you can very easily install it on linux
