How To Install node-keypress on Kali Linux

Introduction

What is node-keypress

node-keypress is:

Previous to Node v0.8.x, there was an undocumented “keypress” event that process.stdin would emit when it was a TTY. Some people discovered this hidden gem, and started using it in their own code.

In Node v0.8.x (and above), this “keypress” event does not get emitted by default, but rather only when it is being used in conjunction with the readline (or by extension, the repl) module.

This module is the exact logic from the node pre-v0.8.x releases ripped out into its own module.
