I don’t install node I use nix-shell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YBWhSNTgV8
This video is a great quick explainer about how awesome nix-shell is. I don't install PHP or Node or even MySQL I create a shell.nix file and run nix-shell and let my shell have everything installed without cluttering up my system.
I do need to dig into flakes at some point.
