Web Development Tools

Introduction

Web development tools and frameworks are essential for building modern web applications. This tutorial provides an overview of popular web development tools and frameworks available on Debian systems, along with installation instructions and setup guides.

Node.js

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime that allows developers to build server-side and networking applications. Here’s how to install Node.js on Debian:

Installation

1. Update package repository:

sudo apt update

2. Install Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager):

sudo apt install nodejs npm

3. Verify the installation:

node -v
npm -v

Getting Started

Once Node.js is installed, you can start building applications using frameworks like Express.js, Vue.js, or React.

Angular

Angular is a popular JavaScript framework for building single-page web applications. Here’s how to install Angular CLI (Command Line Interface) on Debian:
