Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.

Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it
lightweight and efficient. Node.js' package ecosystem, npm, is the
largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world.

WARNING: nodejs will conflict with node.

Either install the node package, or nodejs (recommended) from SBo,
but not both. Both packages include npm.

nodejs is based off of iojs, you should test your project with nodejs
before switching from the node package. Due to significant breaking
changes, you may need to update your project to be compatible.
