Preparing Your Environment

Before you begin, ensure that you have access to your managed hosting account's control panel, such as cPanel or Plesk. Additionally, you'll need SSH access to your hosting environment.

Checking Node.js Availability

First, log in to your hosting account's control panel. Navigate to the section for managing applications or services. Look for an option to install Node.js or check if it's already available in the application catalog.

Installing Node.js

If Node.js is not pre-installed, follow these steps to manually install it:

Step 1: Access SSH
Use an SSH client like PuTTY to connect to your hosting account via SSH.

Step 2: Download Node.js
Once connected, download the Node.js binary package suitable for your server architecture. You can find the latest version on the official Node.js website.

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v14.17.0/node-v14.17.0-linux-x64.tar.xz

Step 3: Extract Node.js
Next, extract the downloaded package using the following command:

tar -xvf node-v14.17.0-linux-x64.tar.xz

Replace node-v14.17.0-linux-x64.tar.xz with the name of the downloaded file.

Step 4: Set Up Node.js
Navigate to the extracted directory and move Node.js to a suitable location on your server, such as /usr/local:

cd node-v14.17.0-linux-x64

sudo cp -R * /usr/local/

Step 5: Verify Installation
To verify that Node.js is installed correctly, run the following commands:

node -v

npm –v

These commands should display the installed Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) versions.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully installed Node.js on your managed hosting account. You can now start developing and running Node.js applications with ease. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, don't hesitate to reach out to your hosting provider's support team for assistance.

By following this guide, you'll be well-equipped to harness the power of Node.js on your managed hosting environment and build innovative web applications efficiently. Happy coding!
