==== Node ==== References that I gather as I start using node. * website: https://nodejs.org/ === npm === Links related to npm. * website https://www.npmjs.com/ * port of npm https://ports.macports.org/port/npm10/details/ The stack overflow question `here `_ gives indications on how to overcome the limitation to install npm globally. The recipe is to use:: npm config set prefix '~/.local/' mkdir -p ~/.local/bin echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin/:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc This is assuming that the machine/account is using zsh, otherwise change .zshrc for .bashrc or similar.
