I did not touch the firewalld part of plasma-firewall, as I do not use firewalld (and the plasma-firewall code for firewalld is more complicated). Below is what I did.

How to install npm and nodejs 14.x on Kali Linux - Linux Shout
Node.js is a scripting language available to install not only on Kali Linux but for Windows, FreeBSD, macOS, and other common platforms. Whereas npm is a JavaScript programming language package manager that comes along with Node.js.
With Node.js, the popular JavaScript language has also found its way into server-side programming. Before Node.js, JavaScript was mainly responsible for the frontend and interaction with the visitor. It is quite flexible which means everything from small CLI (command line) tools to complex programs and independent HTTP servers can be developed using Nodejs.
In addition, no additional server is required for a Node.js application, as the application also represents the webserver. The fact that the server and client use the same programming language ( JavaScript ) is certainly another advantage for many users, as the entry barrier is correspondingly low, especially for web developers.
