Turndown is a Javascript library that helps convert HTML content to Markdown language. It is useful for developers who want to include Markdown features in their applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Turndown on the latest Linux Mint distribution.
The first step is to open the Terminal application. You can do this by pressing CTRL + ALT + T or by clicking on the Terminal icon on the taskbar.
If Node.js and NPM are not installed on your system, you can install them by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install nodejs npm
Enter your password when prompted and wait for the installation to complete. To verify that Node.js and NPM are installed correctly, run the following command:
node -v && npm -v
This command will display the version numbers of Node.js and NPM installed on your system.
To install Turndown, run the following command in the terminal:
npm install turndown
This command will download the Turndown library and install it in the current directory.
To test if Turndown is installed correctly, create a JavaScript file (e.g. test.js) using your favorite text editor and add the following code:
const TurndownService = require('turndown')
const turndownService = new TurndownService()
const markdown = turndownService.turndown('<h1>Hello world!</h1>')
console.log(markdown)
Save the file and run it in the terminal using the following command:
node test.js
If everything is correct, you should see the following output:
# Hello world!
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Turndown on Linux Mint using NPM. You can now use this library to convert HTML content to Markdown language.
