I want to install multi-file-swagger package to compile the temp.yml( which has been split into multiple files) into the swagger.yml. So before using npm I need to install nodejs. How can I do that?

As the image is Debian-based, you should be able to install the source repo from Node and install the package from there. The relevant section of your Gitlab file would look like this:

.deploy: &deploy
  before_script:
    - apt-get update -y
  script:
    - curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_17.x | bash
    - apt-get install nodejs -yq
    - cd source/
    - npm install multi-file-swagger
    - multi-file-swagger -o yaml temp.yml > swagger.yml

Please note that these additional steps will add a significant amount of time to your build process. If you are executing them more frequently, consider creating your own build image derived from the one you’re using now, and adding these steps into the image itself.
