How to Install Bower using NPM on Rocky Linux 8.6
To install Bower using NPM on Rocky Linux 8.6
Introduction:
As websites are made of a lot of things like frameworks.libraries, assets, and utilities.
Bower manages all of these things. Bower is a package manager for web and dependency management tools that are built by Twitter. Bower oversees the front-end components like HTML, CSS, and JS. It reduces the time and energy you need to spend hunting around the web for libraries like Susy and jQuery. Bower helps you to install update or delete the libraries within a single command. Bower depends on nodejs and npm . Bower packages sometimes rely on git so ensure you installed it on your system.

Step 3:Download the latest node package manager by executing the below command
[root@linuxhelp ~]# curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
================================================================================
================================================================================
DEPRECATION WARNING
Node.js 10.x is no longer actively supported!
You will not receive security or critical stability updates for this version.
You should migrate to a supported version of Node.js as soon as possible.
Use the installation script that corresponds to the version of Node.js you
wish to install. e.g.
* https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_12.x - Node.js v12 LTS "Erbium"
* https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_14.x - Node.js v14 LTS "Fermium" (recommended)
* https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_16.x - Node.js v16 "Gallium"
Please see https://github.com/nodejs/Release for details about which
version may be appropriate for you.
The NodeSource Node.js distributions repository contains
information both about supported versions of Node.js and supported Linux
distributions. To learn more about usage, see the repository:
https://github.com/nodesource/distributions

+ curl -sLf -o /dev/null 'https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_10.x/el/8/x86_64/nodesource-release-el8-1.noarch.rpm'
## As yum will try to install Node.js from the AppStream repository
instead of the NodeSource repository, the AppStream's version of Node.js has to be disabled.
## Run `sudo yum module enable -y nodejs` to reactivate the AppStream's Node.js repository.
+ yum module disable -y nodejs
