Node.js does not depend on Python. To install the node snap package open the terminal and type:

sudo snap install node --classic --channel 11/stable 

python-node is a Node.js script runner for Python. To install python-node open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install python3-pip
python3 -m pip install --user python-node 

Both Node.js and Python can run scripts interactively in a REPL. A read–eval–print loop (REPL), also termed an interactive top level or language shell, is a simple, interactive computer programming environment that takes single user inputs (i.e. single expressions), evaluates them, and returns the result to the user. Installing IPython (python3-ipython) allows the user to run blocks of code and scripts interactively in a more user-friendly way.
