Debian Node.js packages, like Express, and security concerns

Hi,Using Debian I have installed Node with apt-get install nodejs, which installed Version: 4.8.2~dfsg-1, and it doesn't include NPM, which I had intended to use for installing Express. There was a node-express package, though once installed, if I try const exp=require("express");, it throwsDEPRECATED use http://bit.ly/2Av8jNc there some standard means for using Node packages like Express other than installing other repos?What is the security situation currently with Node? I read previously that there was a vulnerability found for Node packages installed with root, if I recall correctly. Is there any particular best source from which to install Node or best practices?General tips?edit:Any arguments motivating one to try and stick with it for a web project rather than something older and seemingly more 'ready to go' from Debian?Thanks
