[BlueOnyx:25520] Re: Node.js and npm

[Ernie]

Thanks Michael for the tip about the upgrade script to convert from CentOS
to Almalinux. Must have missed that anouncement.

Tried it, works great, solved the problem.

A quick yum search shows me that Almalinux has a nodejs.x86_64 package ready
to install.

- Ernie.
