Chapter 2. Setting up Node

Before getting started with using Node you must set up your development environment. In the following chapters we'll be using this for development, and for non-production deployment.

In this chapter we will:

  • See how to install Node from source and prepackaged binaries on Linux, Mac, or Windows

  • See how to install the npm package manager, and some popular tools

  • Learn a bit about the Node module system

So let's get on with it.
