Node Installfest

  1. Install NodeJS (6.*)

    • Linux: Use your package manager. Package name is most likely nodejs. E.g. for Ubuntu “sudo apt-get install nodejs”

    • Mac: If you don’t have brew installed yet, do so. Then just run “brew install nodejs” in your terminal.

    • Windows: Pick the appropriate Windows installer from the node download page. (During install make sure you select the npm package manager as a feature you would like to install). Make sure you select to install the npm as well.

  1. Make sure the NPM was installed with node

    • Run “npm -v” in either your terminal or cmd. It should tell you what version of npm you currently are running.
    • If not…

      • Linux: Use your package manger to install package “npm”

      • Mac: If you haven’t installed brew yet, now would be a great time to do so. Run “brew install npm” in your terminal to get the most glorious of package mangers.

      • Windows: Reinstall nodejs, and make sure you select npm package manager.

  2. Install MongoDB

    • Linux: Use that package manager once more. The package name should be “mongodb”

    • Mac: “brew install mongodb”

    • Windows: Get mongo from here. Then run the installer.

  3. Download Postman
