Installing NodeJs on your Windows Workspace

Install Babun (not necessary but highly recommended)

Babun is an excellent replacement for your cmd; git is also pre-installed.

To install Babun on different directory:

• Download from this site
• Exctract the downloaded ZIP file
• Open cmd
• Change to the directory of the exctracted ZIP file by doing: cd {{directory_of_the_file}}
• Install babun on the directory of your choice. E.g. install.bat /t "C:\Users\Matthew". A prompt will appear just enter Y
• After installation there should be a babun shortcut on your desktop, if not open the .babun folder on the installed directory and click babun.bat.

Installing NodeJs

Node.js® is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

• Download the .msi installer on this site
• Choose 32-bit or 64-bit
• Open the downloaded .msi installer.
• After installation click Finish.
• If you have a previously opened cmd/babun close it and open it again.
• Verify that the installation was successful by typing node -v.
• A version of node should appear.
