curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs
To verify version 12 has been installed successfully:
node -v
npm -v
Install yarn package manager
NOTE: Many have said yarn is no longer relevant, as it no longer has much advantages over Node.js https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/#debian-stable
curl -sL https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
