NPM is a package manager for Node.js, which allows to download packages and libraries from npm.js. If you are looking for similarities, then there is `pip` for python. To get started with NPM, you have to download Node.js, and choose to install npm. 

Now, when you successfully installed NPM, you can use it to download packages!
Here is how:

```bash
npm install [package-name]
```

This would install any package you want! Just make sure to replace [package-name] with something real.

Thank you. While installing Node.js, I noticed that the language used is named Javascript. I also saw another language on the internet called Java. What is the relationship between these two?

Java and JavaScript are two different programming languages. Java is an Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) language while JavaScript is an OOP scripting language1. Java creates applications that run in a virtual machine or browser while JavaScript code runs on a browser only1. Java code needs to be compiled while JavaScript code is all in text1.

The name choice for JavaScript was a marketing move to encourage adoption and has no direct relation to Java2.
