curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | bash -

To install NodeJS 6.x

curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -

STEP 2 :

Now we’re going to install node.js and NPM:

yum install nodejs -y

To check the version of npm and node.js run this commands :

[root@mysterydata ~]# npm -v
