PPA is acronym of Personal Package Archive. It is a third party software package repository. There are many packages which are not included in Ubuntu official apt-get.
Install npm and nodejs using PPA
Set PPA
First, we need to specify repository(PPA repository). Now 20.x is the latest version of nodejs so I set to 20.x. You can check latest version on https://github.com/nodejs/Release#release-schedule
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
Install nodejs
Install nodejs
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs -y

Above nodejs include npm but we need to install build-essential for using better npm.
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential -y
