Node.js is the most popular environment for running web apps based on Javascript. Follow these instructions to install it on your computer

​

1. Go to https://nodejs.org/ and install it.

​

2. To verify if the installation was successful, you'll need to open a terminal window. On an Apple computer, you can click the search icon in the top menu and type in terminal (or terminal.app).

 

In the terminal window, enter the command "node -v"

% node -v​

​

The "%" signifies the terminal prompt and is not part of the command. 

​

If the terminal responds with a version number like "v22.31.1" then you have successfully installed node.js for use.
