Installation
Bannertime uses Node Package Manager to manage and install dependencies. A question we get asked often is “what’s the best, npm-recommended way of installing npm?" There are multiple ways to install npm.
The best way to install npm is to install node using nvm. npm is installed as part of node.
Install nvm
You can install nvm using cURL:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh | bash
You will need to restart terminal to source nvm.

Install node
Install the latest stable version of node using:
nvm install stable
Use the installed version of node:
nvm use stable
To set a default Node version to be used in any new shell, use the alias 'default':
nvm alias default node
Check installations
To check that you are running the latest versions of nvm, node and npm run the following commands.
nvm --version
node -v
npm -v
These three commands should display the latest version numbers for each package
