Check the nodejs and npm version first!!!

[xichen1]

Before developing the front-end part on any machine(including windows, macos, ubuntu and xubuntu), please check if the nodejs and npm exist on this machine.

This issue will not be closed until everyone checked and updated the npm and nodejs version on their development and test machine! Once you finished your check and update, please reply with a "done" to this issue thread.

And you can always chat with me if there is any problem during the update and installation!

important notice

The versions of nodejs and npm are quite low on xubuntu machine, so you must update them to recent version so that we can use npm to install and use some modern dependencies!

You must update xubuntu's nodejs and npm because they are required for test!

And keeping everyone's npm/nodejs/development environment same is to limit the chance of facing some configuration problems.

nodejs version

To check nodejs's version, run node -v, it must be at least 14.0(current version is 14.18.0). If the nodejs's version is lower than that, you can run commands to update nodejs:

• on Mac: brew install node or download and install from this link
• on Ubuntu:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x -o nodesource_setup.sh
sudo bash nodesource_setup.sh 

• on Windows: go to this link and download the installer file.

npm version

To check npm version, run npm -v, it must be at least 7.0(current version is 7.24.1). I the npm 's version is too low, you can run sudo npm install -g npm@latest command to update npm.
If there is no npm at all, you may want to use brew or apt to install it and then check the version.
