### Alternatives

Official **Fedora** [Node.js](https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/nodejs) and [npm](https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/npm) packages are available in Fedora 18 and later. Install with:

```
sudo yum install nodejs npm
```

In a hurry for the latest updates? [Grab them from updates-testing.](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing)

**Enterprise Linux** (RHEL and CentOS) users may use the Node.js and npm packages from the [EPEL](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) repository.

Install the appropriate *epel-release* RPM for your version (found on the [EPEL](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) repository homepage), then run:

```
sudo yum install nodejs npm --enablerepo=epel
```

In a hurry for the latest updates? [Grab them from epel-testing.](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/testing)

**Available architectures:**

* **i686** (32-bit, not available for EL7)
* **x86_64** (64-bit)

Additionally, versions of **CentOS** and **Scientific Linux** corresponding to the above RHEL versions are also officially supported by all EPEL packages, including nodejs. Amazon Linux is not officially supported by EPEL due to significant incompatibilities previously reported to the epel-devel mailing list, however you might find that nodejs at least still works.
