I'm new to CLI/BASH and I've got used to the basic commands. I now want to get used to installing software on a server, such as nodejs, git etc.
Is there an software or a way I can practice BASH commands such as installing on a server without actually installing? I want to improve my skills. Is there a dummy server software or something like that?

Some package management tools have a test mode (e.g.rpm --test). If you want to play with bash, without breaking your system, the best thing to do these days is fire up the cheapest virtual machine from AWS, Vultr, Digital Ocean etc. Just remember to stop it when you're done. If you break it, just trash it and start again. They're only $5 a month, or less.

Get interested in docker. It is a great tool for "testing" things.

Perhaps you should look into virtualising a machine. Then you can install whatever software you want.
www.virtualbox.org
or www.vmware.com
Either that or you can always uninstall stuff after using it apt:
apt-get --purge remove <package>
apt-get autoremove --purge
(That will remove all the package and all dependencies)
I don't think there is a 'dummy server' though ;) Virtual machines are definitely your friend here though.
