Updating node and npm

There are many available answers for this question, but I curated the steps taking information from stackoverflow. This code is tested on Amazon Linux 2022. If we want to use node version 18, we need update glibc version to 2.27. When we are done with the work, please restart the AWS instance if you use VSCode remote SSH.

• Use Node Version Manager (nvm) https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm
• Execute nvm list available or get latest version from remote nvm ls-remote | grep -i "latest"

• to install nvm install version e.g. nvm install 16.19.1
• use latest installed version nvm use version e.g. nvm use 16.19.1
• To update npm use npm install -g npm@latest
