For obvious reasons, having NodeJS installed on your work machine is a must. 😄
Using Windows 10, however, workflow should be similar for most versions.
- download v4.2.2 from https://nodejs.org/en/ (5.1.0 has problems with npm and VS2015)
- install it regularly
Open up terminal (Windows + R -> 'cmd' -> Enter) and type node -v
. If it works, you are good to go and you can ignore the stuff below. Otherwise, continue.
- open up This PC
- in that window, right click the PC icon located above all your hard drives and directories
- in the new window, click Advanced system settings
- in the newest window, click Environment Variables...
- find the PATH variable, click edit
- add the following: YOUR_ABSOLUTE_NODEJS_INSTALL_DIRECTORY/; and C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\npm;
- please note that all PATH variables must be separated with ;
- open up terminal
sudo apt-get install nvm
nvm install 5.1
Navigate your browser to the nodejs.org. Download your Node.js installation package by clicking on of the big green buttons (we recommend the LTS variant):
Run downloaded file:
Go through the installation process, provide your password when asked:
Your node is installed at this point, but we recommend some "fininshing touches":
-
set the ownership of global module folder
sudo chown -R YOUR_USER_NAME /usr/local/lib/node_modules
replace
YOUR_USER_NAME
in above command by your actual username in macosx. If you don't know your username, runwhoami
to get it printed into console. -
update to latest NPM
npm update -g
Now you can test your node.js & npm installation:
node -v
npm -v
