This is the first step toward building full stack applications and APIs with JavaScript.
February 20, 2018
In this article, I walk you through installing Node, so you can begin building full web applications with JavaScript.
Installing Node is pretty easy from the Node.js web site, but it is important to understand that Node isn't a "program" like your code editor or anything like that. Node gives you the ability to run JavaScript server-side, and you work with it directly from your terminal.
node -v
Enter
And that's it!
Once you confirm Node is installed on your machine, you are ready to install the Node Package Manager (NPM) to begin leveraging NPM Modules for your new projects.
