Raspberry Pi Model

Raspberry Pi 4 B

Describe The Bug

i am using the latest image of the Homebridge , i install it and configure it with no issues.
however when i connect to the SSH and want to install Zigbee2MQQT , i found out that npm is not installed and i cannot use it at all.
How to install packages that require npm if not node is not in the global path and cannot be used.
i have no such issues on my MacOS, but on raspbian i see nodeJS is part of homebridge and i don't know how to use it.

This is the command i am running and fail because NPM is not found

Clone Zigbee2MQTT repository

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt.git /opt/zigbee2mqtt

Install dependencies (as user "pi")

cd /opt/zigbee2mqtt
npm ci

See https://www.reddit.com/r/homebridge/comments/vusfib/homebridge_and_npm_node_locations_on_raspberry_pi/

The node installation is for Homebridge only. If you want to run other apps that use Node.js, you'll have to install it as per that softwares' instructions.
