2
00:00:05,013 --> 00:00:11,408
So, are you all excited and rubbing your
hands eagerly to get hold of Node.js?

3
00:00:11,408 --> 00:00:14,756
You don't need to wait for too long,

4
00:00:14,756 --> 00:00:20,510
let's just head over to nodejs.org and
get hold of Node.js.

5
00:00:20,510 --> 00:00:24,390
In your browser head over nojs.org,

6
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:29,530
and as you browse down you
see the download buttons for

7
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:33,080
nojs for your specific platform.

8
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,830
In this case is shows
the download buttons for MacOS.

9
00:00:36,830 --> 00:00:40,960
So click on the LTS version of Node.js.

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,712
At the moment, it is version 6.9.1.

11
00:00:44,712 --> 00:00:50,306
You might encounter a slightly higher
version of this in the future,

12
00:00:50,306 --> 00:00:55,260
but nevertheless,
get hold of the LTS version of Node.js.

13
00:00:55,260 --> 00:01:00,060
Click on that to download the installer
package for your platform.

14
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,300
Once you get hold of
the installer package,

15
00:01:05,550 --> 00:01:09,050
double click on it to
start installing Node.js.

16
00:01:09,050 --> 00:01:12,960
Depending on your operating system
you will see a window like this

17
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,630
on your computer and

18
00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:19,880
just follow along the instructions
to install nodejs on your machine.

19
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,200
You may need administrative privileges
to install Node.js on your machine.

20
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,060
So make sure that you are logged
into an administrator account and

21
00:01:31,060 --> 00:01:36,646
install nodejs to be accessible by all
users that are logged in on the computer.

22
00:01:36,646 --> 00:01:40,667
And once the installation is
complete let's go ahead and

23
00:01:40,667 --> 00:01:44,448
verify that Node.js jas
been installed correctly.

24
00:01:44,448 --> 00:01:49,528
Open up a terminal window or
a command window and

25
00:01:49,528 --> 00:01:57,050
add the prompt type node -v to check
the version of node installed.

26
00:01:57,050 --> 00:02:04,880
Similarly, check npm -v to check
the version on npm installed.

27
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,020
I am starting with these
versions of node and

28
00:02:08,020 --> 00:02:12,770
npm, and the subsequent exercises
will be based on these.

29
00:02:12,770 --> 00:02:16,800
Even if you installed a later
version I'm pretty sure that

30
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,640
it will be backward compatible so all the
steps should work pretty much the same.

31
00:02:22,990 --> 00:02:25,710
With this we complete
installation of Node.js.

32
00:02:25,710 --> 00:02:30,751
So let's go ahead and
make use of Node.js in the next exercise.

33
00:02:30,751 --> 00:02:36,499
