Node.js on Ubuntu gives a way to write server-side scripting. It is an open source Javascript cross-platform that executes the Javascript outside the browsers. It uses an NPM package manager to fetch different packages and modules for function extensions of the app developed on Node.js. To install Node.js and NPM on latest Ubuntu 19.04, we don't need to add any kind PPA (personal package manager), however, there is an official PPA for Node.js that we can use to install latest versions of Nodejs & NPM on Ubuntu such as 19.04, 18.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 14.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) Linux servers.
The Xubuntu team is happy to announce the immediate release of Xubuntu 19.04! Xubuntu 19.04 is a regular release and will be supported for 9 months, until January 2020. If you need a stable environment with longer support time, we recommend that you use Xubuntu 18.04 LTS instead.
