NPM, short for **N** ode **P** ackage **M** anager, is a command line package manager for installing NodeJS packages, or modules. We already have have published a guide that described how to [**manage NodeJS packages using NPM**][1]. As you may noticed, managing NodeJS packages or modules using Npm is not a big deal. However, if you’re not compatible with CLI-way, there is a desktop GUI application named **NDM** which can be used for managing NodeJS applications/modules. NDM, stands for **N** PM **D** esktop **M** anager, is a free, open source graphical front-end for NPM that allows us to install, update, remove NodeJS packages via a simple graphical window.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In this brief tutorial, we are going to learn about Ndm in Linux.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Install NDM
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NDM is available in AUR, so you can install it using any AUR helpers on Arch Linux and its derivatives like Antergos and Manjaro Linux.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Using [**Pacaur**][2]:
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ pacaur -S ndm
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Using [**Packer**][3]:
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ packer -S ndm
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Using [**Trizen**][4]:
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ trizen -S ndm
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Using [**Yay**][5]:
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ yay -S ndm
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Using [**Yaourt**][6]:
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ yaourt -S ndm
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On RHEL based systems like CentOS, run the following command to install NDM.
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ echo "[fury] name=ndm repository baseurl=https://repo.fury.io/720kb/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0" | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/ndm.repo && sudo yum update &&
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint:
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://apt.fury.io/720kb/ /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ndm.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ndm
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NDM can also be installed using **Linuxbrew**. First, install Linuxbrew as described in the following link.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After installing Linuxbrew, you can install NDM using the following commands:
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
$ brew update
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
$ brew install ndm
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On other Linux distributions, go to the [**NDM releases page**][7], download the latest version, compile and install it yourself.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### NDM Usage
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Launch NDM wither from the Menu or using application launcher. This is how NDM’s default interface looks like.

From here, you can install NodeJS packages/modules either locally or globally.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Install NodeJS packages locally**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To install a package locally, first choose project directory by clicking on the **“Add projects”** button from the Home screen and select the directory where you want to keep your project files. For example, I have chosen a directory named **“demo”** as my project directory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Click on the project directory (i.e **demo** ) and then, click **Add packages** button.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![][10]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Type the package name you want to install and hit the **Install** button.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![][11]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once installed, the packages will be listed under the project’s directory. Simply click on the directory to view the list of installed packages locally.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![][12]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Similarly, you can create separate project directories and install NodeJS modules in them. To view the list of installed modules on a project, click on the project directory, and you will the packages on the right side.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Install NodeJS packages globally**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To install NodeJS packages globally, click on the **Globals** button on the left from the main interface. Then, click “Add packages” button, type the name of the package and hit “Install” button.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Manage packages**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Click on any installed packages and you will see various options on the top, such as
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Version (to view the installed version),
|
|||
|
|
2. Latest (to install latest available version),
|
|||
|
|
3. Update (to update the currently selected package),
|
|||
|
|
4. Uninstall (to remove the selected package) etc.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![][13]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NDM has two more options namely **“Update npm”** which is used to update the node package manager to latest available version, and **Doctor** that runs a set of checks to ensure that your npm installation has what it needs to manage your packages/modules.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Conclusion
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NDM makes the process of installing, updating, removing NodeJS packages easier! You don’t need to memorize the commands to perform those tasks. NDM lets us to do them all with a few mouse clicks via simple graphical window. For those who are lazy to type commands, NDM is perfect companion to manage NodeJS packages.
