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. + +![][9] + +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. + +Cheers! + +**Resource:** + + + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://www.ostechnix.com/ndm-a-desktop-gui-application-for-npm/ + +作者：[SK][a] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) +选题：[lujun9972](https://github.com/lujun9972) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]:https://www.ostechnix.com/author/sk/ +[1]:https://www.ostechnix.com/manage-nodejs-packages-using-npm/ +[2]:https://www.ostechnix.com/install-pacaur-arch-linux/ +[3]:https://www.ostechnix.com/install-packer-arch-linux-2/ +[4]:https://www.ostechnix.com/trizen-lightweight-aur-package-manager-arch-based-systems/ +[5]:https://www.ostechnix.com/yay-found-yet-another-reliable-aur-helper/ +[6]:https://www.ostechnix.com/install-yaourt-arch-linux/ +[7]:https://github.com/720kb/ndm/releases +[8]:data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 +[9]:http://www.ostechnix.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ndm-1.png +[10]:http://www.ostechnix.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ndm-5-1.png +[11]:http://www.ostechnix.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ndm-6.png +[12]:http://www.ostechnix.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ndm-7.png +[13]:http://www.ostechnix.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ndm-8.png
