node.js reference error node not defined

[techelpmike]

I just installed node.js on my Windows 10 computer. I tried to see the version by typing 'node -v' at the command prompt I received a Reference error message "Node not defined" with a list of where it is not defined. Does this mean that I can't use node.js as there is no way to define it? Or how do I correct this error in order to use node.js?

Are you trying to type node -v inside Node.js REPL (interactive session)?

You have at least three ways to get Node.js version:

1. Type node -v in console outside Node session (you should see a standard Windows command prompt with a current directory path like c:\temp>, not Node.js REPL prompt with just > ).
2. Type process.version inside Node interactive session (after you type just node or click on the Node.js icon shortcut), after Node.js REPL prompt > .
3. Save a file filename.js with the code console.log(process.version); and launch it via command node filename.js.

It sounds like you may have the Microsoft HPC Pack installed, it has a command named node too. Either uninstall it or make sure "our" node comes first on the %PATH%. I'll close this out.
