Installing Jam on Manjaro

Jam is a package manager for JavaScript that helps in the creation and management of front-end projects. Here's how to install Jam on Manjaro:

Step 1: Install Node.js

Before installing Jam, you need to ensure that you have Node.js installed on your system, as Jam requires it to function. If you don't have Node.js installed, follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.
2. Update the system package database by running the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

3. Install Node.js by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S nodejs

Once the installation is complete, verify the installation by running the following command:

node -v

This will display the version of Node.js installed on your system.

Step 2: Install Jam

Now that Node.js is installed, you can proceed to install Jam. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.
2. Install Jam by running the following command:

sudo npm install -g jamjs

The -g option installs Jam globally on your system, which means that you can use it in any directory.

3. Verify the installation by running the following command:

jam -v

This will display the version of Jam installed on your system.

And that's it! You have successfully installed Jam on your Manjaro system. Happy coding!
