Node.js is a runtime environment that allows you to execute JavaScript code outside of a web browser, making it possible to build server-side applications and command-line tools. We will be using Node.JS as our main tool during the upcoming weeks.
We recommend installing Node.js using a package manager. This makes it easy to update Node.js in the future.
After installing Node.js, type the following command in the terminal to verify it was installed successfully
node -v
<aside> ⚠️
If get an error similar to “node cannot be found”, try to restart your terminal application
