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.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:

• A machine running Alpine Linux Latest
• A terminal or shell to execute commands

Step 1 - Update Package Manager

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.

Step 2 - Install Dependencies

Turndown requires Node.js to be installed on the machine. We can install Node.js by executing the following command:

This will install the latest version of Node.js on our machine.

Step 3 - Install Turndown

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:

Step 4 - Test Turndown

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

# Hello, World!

This is a test.
