Your system can t find npm package because you haven t add nodejs repository to your system    Try follow this installation step  Add nodejs PPA repository to our system and python software properties too  sudo apt-get install curl python-software-properties     sudo apt-get install curl software-properties-common  curl -sL https   deb nodesource com setup 10 x   sudo bash - sudo apt-get update   Then install npm  sudo apt-get install nodejs   Check if npm and node was installed and you re ready to use node js  node -v npm -v      If someone was failed to install nodejs   Try remove the npm first    maybe the old installation was broken     sudo apt-get remove nodejs sudo apt-get remove npm   Check if npm or node folder still exist  delete it if you found them  which node which npm

I had a similar issue  and this is what worked for me  Add the NodeSource package signing key  curl -sSL https   deb nodesource com gpgkey nodesource gpg key   sudo apt-key add -   wget can also be used    wget --quiet -O - https   deb nodesource com gpgkey nodesource gpg key   sudo apt-key add -  Add the desired NodeSource repository    Replace with the branch of Node js or io js you want to install  node 6 x  node 12 x  etc    VERSION node 12 x   The below command will set this correctly  but if lsb release isn t available  you can set it manually    - For Debian distributions  jessie  sid  etc      - For Ubuntu distributions  xenial  bionic  etc      - For Debian or Ubuntu derived distributions your best option is to use the codename corresponding to the upstream release your distribution is based off  This is an advanced scenario and unsupported if your distribution is not listed as supported per earlier in this README  DISTRO  quot   lsb release -s -c  quot  echo  quot deb https   deb nodesource com  VERSION  DISTRO main quot    sudo tee  etc apt sources list d nodesource list echo  quot deb-src https   deb nodesource com  VERSION  DISTRO main quot    sudo tee -a  etc apt sources list d nodesource list  Update package lists and install Node js  sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nodejs

This will resolve your error  Run these commands in your terminal  These commands will add the older versions  You can update them later or you can change version here too before running these commands one by one   sudo apt-get install build-essential wget http   nodejs org dist v0 8 16 node-v0 8 16 tar gz tar -xzf node-v0 8 16 tar gz cd node-v0 8 16    configure make sudo make install

If you have installed nodejs  then you also have npm  Npm comes with node

From the official Node js documentation      A Node js package is also available in the official repo for Debian Sid  unstable   Jessie  testing  and Wheezy  wheezy-backports  as  nodejs   It only installs a nodejs binary    So  if you only type sudo apt-get install nodejs   it does not install other goodies such as npm    You need to type   curl -sL https   deb nodesource com setup 10 x   sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs      Optional  install build tools      To compile and install native add-ons from npm you may also need to install build tools    sudo apt-get install -y build-essential   More info  Docs

I ran into the same issue on Debian 9 2  this is what I did to overcome it   Installation  sudo apt install curl curl -sL https   deb nodesource com setup 6 x   sudo bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs sudo apt-get install -y npm   Check installed versions  node --version npm --version   Originally sourced from  How to install Node js LTS on Debian 9 stretch  http   linuxbsdos com 2017 06 26 how-to-install-node-js-lts-on-debian-9-stretch

For Debian Stretch  Debian version 9   nodejs does not include npm  and to install it as a separate package  you have to enable stretch-backports  echo  deb http   deb debian org debian stretch-backports main    sudo tee  etc apt sources list d stretch-backports list apt-get update -y apt-get -t stretch-backports install -y npm  In Buster  Debian 10   npm is a regular package  so going forward  this should just work  But some of us will still be stuck partially on Stretch boxes for some time to come
