00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:11,160
It's time to install Node.js on our computer to get started with this course.

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,900
So, without further ado let's head over to nodejs.org and then

3
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:22,630
download the latest version of Node.js suitable for our computer.

4
00:00:22,670 --> 00:00:26,070
Heading over to nodejs.org,

5
00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:31,830
we notice that we have two versions of Node.js available for us.

6
00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:38,650
I'm going to download the latest current version of Node.js, the stable version.

7
00:00:44,930 --> 00:00:47,785
Once the installer is downloaded,

8
00:00:47,785 --> 00:00:50,600
double-click on it to proceed ahead with

9
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,600
the installation of Node.js and it should bring up

10
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,855
an installation screen which might look like this depending

11
00:00:56,855 --> 00:01:00,740
on the specific platform on which you are installing Node.js.

12
00:01:00,740 --> 00:01:05,350
So, the rest of the course is going to depend upon these versions of Node.js.

13
00:01:05,350 --> 00:01:08,470
Continuing with the installation.

14
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,365
Once the installation is completed,

15
00:01:29,365 --> 00:01:32,825
then you can verify the version of Node.js by

16
00:01:32,825 --> 00:01:39,470
typing node minus v and the prompt and check

17
00:01:39,470 --> 00:01:44,480
the version of node and similarly npm minus

18
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:50,650
v at the prompt to check the version of npm that has been installed on your computer.
