Setup your enviroment

Installing NodeJS

For obvious reasons, having NodeJS installed on your work machine is a must. :smile:

Windows

Using Windows 10, however, workflow should be similar for most versions.

• download v4.2.2 from https://nodejs.org/en/ (5.1.0 has problems with npm and VS2015)
• install it regularly

Open up terminal (Windows + R -> 'cmd' -> Enter) and type node -v. If it works, you are good to go and you can ignore the stuff below. Otherwise, continue.

• open up This PC
• in that window, right click the PC icon located above all your hard drives and directories
• in the new window, click Advanced system settings
• in the newest window, click Environment Variables...
• find the PATH variable, click edit
• add the following: YOUR_ABSOLUTE_NODEJS_INSTALL_DIRECTORY/; and C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\npm;
• please note that all PATH variables must be separated with ;

Ubuntu

• open up terminal
• sudo apt-get install nvm
• nvm install 5.1

Mac OS X

Navigate your browser to the nodejs.org. Download your Node.js installation package by clicking on of the big green buttons (we recommend the LTS variant):

Run downloaded file:

Go through the installation process, provide your password when asked:

Your node is installed at this point, but we recommend some "fininshing touches":

• set the ownership of global module folder

  sudo chown -R YOUR_USER_NAME /usr/local/lib/node_modules

  replace YOUR_USER_NAME in above command by your actual username in macosx. If you don't know your username, run whoami to get it printed into console.

• update to latest NPM

  npm update -g

Now you can test your node.js & npm installation:

node -v

npm -v
