Node.js Basic — Setting Up a Project

Let’s have a start for node.js development. There are already so many articles, blog, pdf etc., but i want to explain this for those who don’t have too much idea about javascript but still want to take a chance to develop something in node, so this is the right place. Let’s start and move always one step forwards.

Download the Node.js source code or a pre-built installer for your platform, and start developing today.

Node.js is installed on your system. Now open terminal and type:

node -v and enter
npm -v and enter

Now, you can see that node and npm is intsalled on your system. Just stay to your terminal and type:

node

Here you can do javascript things, like

> var a = 5;
> var b = 10;
> var c = a + b;
> c
15
> console.log(c);
15

Yeppi!! You have done javascript code using node. In next article, we will setup server and will show “Hello Node!!” in browser.
