~]$ npm -v
node: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.67: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
~]$ node --version

  1. Install nvm (Node Version Manager)

     yay -S nvm

  2. Load nvm

     source /usr/share/nvm/init-nvm.sh

  3. You can also add the above line in your environment file such as .bashrc so you won’t have to do it every time.

  4. Install Node.js and npm

     nvm -g install npm

  5. Test your setup – open a new terminal and install a package using npm

     $ nvm use stable
 $ nvm -g install browser-sync
 $ browser-sync start --server

I found that you need to install both nodejs and npm from the package manager. If you first install npm however, node is automatically installed as a dependency.

yay -S npm
