How to install/configure node js for a website?

Question

Node.js

Hello. I decided to study node.js, but for some reason I can’t find documentation that is understandable (for me), namely how to install / configure node.js on the server. IMPORTANT - I want to write applications on the node for the site.
In general, maybe someone knows some good documentation that can help me - I will be very grateful =)

It is worth specifying on which server you want to install. If you have, for example, Ubuntu Server, then you can do everything you need without leaving the console - install nodejs and npm (package manager for it)

sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm

and make a link
so that you can access the node as node and not as nodejs. This is useful to do. And in general, everything. Nothing more is needed to study. You can sit and write.
