***

## Installing nvm

### Step 1: Install nvm

`nvm` (Node Version Manager) lets you install and manage multiple Node.js versions easily.

[https://nodejs.org/en/download](https://nodejs.org/en/download)

Install nvm using the official install script:

```bash theme={null}
# Download and install nvm:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash

# in lieu of restarting the shell
\. "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh"

# Download and install Node.js:
nvm install 24

# Verify the Node.js version:
node -v # Should print "v24.1.0".
nvm current # Should print "v24.1.0".

# Verify npm version:
npm -v # Should print "11.3.0".
```

After installation, add the following to your shell profile (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, etc.):

```bash theme={null}
\. "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh"
```

Restart your terminal or run the above manually, then verify:

```bash theme={null}
nvm --version
```

### Step 2: Install Node.js

Once `nvm` is set up, install the latest LTS version of Node.js:

```bash theme={null}
nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts
```

Verify:

```bash theme={null}
node --version
npm --version
```

install latest npm:

```bash theme={null}
# npm install -g npm@11.4.1
npm install -g npm@latest
```

***

# install mintlify

```bash theme={null}
npm i -g mintlify
```

## Installing Deno

[Deno](https://deno.com) is a modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.

Install Deno with this command:

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://deno.land/install.sh | sh

```

Ensure `~/.deno/bin` is in your PATH. Add to your shell config:

```bash theme={null}
# deno script will ask you to add the following to your shell profile:
```

Then verify:

```bash theme={null}
deno --version
```

***

## Installing Go

Install Go (Golang) using the official tarball:

```bash theme={null}
curl -LO https://go.dev/dl/go1.22.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.22.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
```

Add Go to your shell profile:

```bash theme={null}
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
```

Verify:

```bash theme={null}
go version
```
