I tried to install npm and I repeatedly got error that NPM depends on package node-gyp (>= 0.10.9) but that package is not installable.

I have no packages broken (I search for them using dpkg) but I still can not install NPM.

I can install just nodejs but I need also npm...

Can anyone help me?

Get it installed with these steps if the above comments methods doesn;t fly:

# For the soon to be LTS release, 10.x
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -

# For the bleeding edge, 11.x
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_11.x | sudo -E bash -

Then install with sudo apt install nodejs.

Uninstall node and install it again with Node Version Manager(first install NVM,then with NVM node version you wish),on this way you will not have any problems with node-gyp or NPM .Good luck.

  • No, I do not want another utility - I have these troubles on Ubuntu before and I forgot how to solve it - but it was definitively pure apt way - no other utilities. But thanks anyway.
