Introduction To Node.js

Node.js is an open-source server environment that allows you to run JavaScript on the server.

Installing & Running Node.js: Windows

1. Visit nodejs.org and download the LTS version of Node.js for Windows by clicking the “Windows Installer” option.
2. Run the downloaded Node.js .msi Installer - accept the license and select the folder to install.

• This step requires Administrator privileges, and you may need to authenticate

1. To ensure Node.js has been installed, run node -v in your terminal - you should get something like v15.3.0
2. Update your version of npm with npm install npm --global

• This step also requires Administrator privileges so you may need to authenticate

Congratulations — you’ve now got Node.js installed, and are ready to start building!
