installing Node.js

Whatever operating system you use, you'll need to install Node.js. We recommend doing this using nvm - the node version manager. Your machine should come with at least one of curl or wget. You can use either to install nvm:

curl version:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.30.1/install.sh | bash

wget version:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.30.1/install.sh | bash

Follow the instructions that appear in the terminal - it will ask you to close once it's done.

After you've closed and re-opened your terminal, you'll need to tell nvm to install the latest version of Node, and set it as default:

nvm install 5.11
nvm use 5.11
nvm alias default 5.11

Now you have node and npm installed.
