How to install NPM into my custom Docker container? We will show three basic ways in DockerFile.

First and simple way

FROM debian:11-slim RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget gnupg g++ apt-utils curl git && apt-get clean ###################### RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y npm && apt-get clean
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Installing with NVM tool

FROM debian:11-slim RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget gnupg g++ apt-utils curl git && apt-get clean ###################### ENV NODE_VERSION 20.12.2 ENV NVM_DIR /usr/local/nvm RUN mkdir -p $NVM_DIR RUN curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash RUN . "${NVM_DIR}/nvm.sh" \ && nvm install $NODE_VERSION \ && nvm alias default $NODE_VERSION \ && nvm use $NODE_VERSION ENV PATH="${NVM_DIR}/versions/node/v${NODE_VERSION}/bin:${PATH}"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
