'How do I install Node' FAQ entry seems very Mac specific #87

The 'How do I install Node' FAQ entry seems very Mac specific, we should probably deal with this question in a multi-platform way.

There is a page here on installing Node via package installers:

https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/

Seeing the high number of Windows users that come to NodeSchool, maybe we should instead simply link to the home page and suggest attendees install the current version? https://nodejs.org/en/

We can alternatively link to https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/

Or maybe just, add: "if you don't want to use a package manager, then you can use an installer"?

I would probably suggest the installer first, since many users might not know what a package manager is: "To install NodeJS, download the installer, or use the package manger of your choice."
