Tried to install nodejs and npm on ubuntu 12.04. I googled and did it. Now, I could not install npm on machine.



sudo apt-get install npm


Which gives me this

 npm : Depends: nodejs but it is not going to be installed

I solved this issue by following this documentation.



Pointers to remember to work with npm:



mkdir ~/nodejs/ && cd ~/nodejs

sudo apt-get install npm

npm install

npm update


While developing applications, if nodejs needs any particular module then run 



cd ~/nodejs

npm install modulename   #for example sendgrid


Sometimes, modules needs to install globally; then use 



sudo npm install modulename -g"


To remove a module:



cd ~/nodejs

npm uninstall modulename          # if locally installed or 

sudo npm uninstall modulename -g  # if globally installed


npm prune helps to remove unmet dependencies
