I'm reading here that I should install lodash. However, at the site of lodash, they say that if I'm using NodeJS I should install n_ here.

So do I need both? Only one? Is one a superset to the other? Do I need any of them, really? (The site explains that it makes the life easier when working with JavaScript and arrays, so I guess I want it. But which?

I'm totally lost.

    You want the `lodash` library. It looks like `n_` just wraps the standard Node repl to make `_` available (when the library usually conflicts with the debugger's own definition of `_`) -- more a convenience for developers who are jumping in and out of the shell constantly than something meant for production use. – Jeremy Oct 11 '16 at 22:06

n_ is a Node REPL that already has lodash built into it.

So if you want to use lodash in a project all you need is lodash.

The n_ package is just an alternative REPL you can use that acts as if lodash is supported by Node.js natively
