Node.js and npm – JavaScript Package Manager
Lab: Local Development Environment Setup for Windows
Video Runtime: 06:03
Recorded: March 27, 2018
Node.js and npm are the package managers for front-end assets as well as tasks. Using npm, we can automate tasks for optimizing, processing, and compiling front-end resources like sprites, images, fonts, svgs, JavaScript files, converting Sass or LESS into CSS, and more. In this episode, you and I will install both.
To install, navigate to https://nodejs.org/en/ and click the download button. After it downloads, click the file to run it. The installer GUI opens up. The installer will install both Node.js and npm.
Simply follow the prompts. When it’s done, open git bash. Then type node -v to verify that node was installed. It should echo out the version of node.js if it is properly pathed and installed. Repeat this process for npm.
You will grow in this profession when you incrementally and systematically stretch yourself....bit-by-bit.
