Node.js is a JavaScript runtime for server-side programming. It allows developers to create scalable backend functionality using JavaScript, a language many are already familiar with from browser-based web development.

In this guide, we will show you three different ways of getting Node.js installed on an Ubuntu 20.04 server

1. Using apt to install the nodejs package from Ubuntu’s default software repository
2. Using apt with an alternate PPA software repository to install specific versions of the nodejs package
3. Installing NVM, the Node Version Manager, and using it to install and manage multiple versions of Node.js
