Setting up node js for the first time
Setting up Node.js is a straightforward process, and can be done by following these simple steps:
Go to the official Node.js website at nodejs.org.
Click on the "Download" button on the homepage to download the latest version of Node.js for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
Once the download is complete, run the installer and follow the installation wizard to complete the installation process.
After installation, open a command prompt or terminal window and type "node -v" to verify that Node.js is installed correctly and to check the version number.
That's it! You should now have Node.js up and running on your system. From here, you can start developing your applications using Node.js and its package manager, npm.
