Turndown is a JavaScript library that can convert HTML to Markdown. In this tutorial, we will be learning how to install Turndown on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
First, we need to update our package manager by executing the following command:
apk update
This will download the updated package lists from the repositories.
Turndown requires Node.js to be installed on the machine. We can install Node.js by executing the following command:
apk add nodejs
This will install the latest version of Node.js on our machine.
Once the dependencies are installed, we can proceed to install Turndown. We can either download the library directly from the webpage or use a package manager like npm.
To install Turndown using npm, execute the following command:
npm install turndown
This will download and install the latest version of Turndown from the npm registry.
Once the installation is complete, we can test Turndown by writing a simple JavaScript file that converts an HTML string to a markdown string using Turndown.
Create a new file called test.js with the following contents:
const TurndownService = require('turndown')
const turndownService = new TurndownService()
const html = '<h1>Hello, World!</h1><p>This is a test.</p>'
const markdown = turndownService.turndown(html)
console.log(markdown)
This file will create an instance of Turndown, convert an HTML string to a markdown string, and log it to the console.
Execute the JavaScript file by running the following command:
node test.js
This should log the following markdown string to the console:
# Hello, World!
This is a test.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and tested Turndown on Alpine Linux Latest!
