How to install and use node: https://www.taniarascia.com/how-to-install-and-use-node-js-and-npm-mac-and-windows/

this might confuse more than it helps, but just a reference to get started

Do you think students should install Node using the Node installer, or use nvm (or nvm-windows)? The installer is obviously easier, but nvm isn't that much harder, and then you can easily change to any node version.

@catarak - Oh! The default node installer is the easiest BUT I do think it is v. important to know that installing different node versions is crucial.

Let's go with installing via NVM and make a tutorial on this installation that includes why this is important, how to switch between node versions, etc.
