Let’s talk about how to install Node.js. Node.js is a runtime environment that empowers developers to execute JavaScript code on the server side, extending its capabilities beyond the confines of the web browser. Implementing Node.js is NPM, a robust package manager designed to publish JavaScript packages, also called Node modules, to the NPM registry. NPM is a valuable tool for effortlessly installing packages into your applications. To begin the Node.js installation process, visit the official website and locate the installer for your platform. As demonstrated here, after downloading the installer, run the executable. Follow the straightforward steps, accepting the terms and conditions, and proceed with the installation on your machine. Once the installation is complete, it’s crucial to verify its success. Open a command line or terminal window and type the following command, node –v. If Node.js has been installed correctly, this command will return the installed version number, as illustrated below.
