Hi Franck,

You can install npm by using conda package manager. You can create a conda environment and install npm by using the below commands

conda create --name environmentname -y
conda activate environmentname
conda install -c conda-forge nodejs
npm --version

For ffmpeg, it is by default available in devcloud without any installations. You can verify ffmpeg availability with the below command

ffmpeg --version

Thanks
