In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how-to install Node.js on Ubuntu 16.04.

Firstly, we will update the package index:

```shell
sudo apt-get update

```

Next, we will install Node.js using the package manager:

```shell
sudo apt-get install nodejs

```

You may now verify if Node.js has been installed correctly by checking the version number:

```shell
nodejs -v

```

We will not install node package manager (npm), which is used to manage Node.js packages:

```shell
sudo apt-get install npm

```

Just like how we checked to verify if Node.js has been installed, we will check if NPM has been installed correctly by checking the version number:

```shell
npm -v

```

That's it! Node.js and NPM should now be installed on Ubuntu 16.04.
