3B1b) Download and install nodejs

First download nodejs here

I recommend to use the latest LTS version available, which is node version 10 at the time i am writing these instructions

Choose the LTS version (stable), then double click on the installer and say yes to all messages during the installation

Then create a shortcut of the node.js command line, to desktop

This will make our use much easier later : go in this folder :

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

(it was hidden earlier, you need to have done the preparations first to see it)

And create a shortcut to desktop

Every time you want to launch this node.js shortcut, launch it as admin as shown below

Note : Another way of doing it is to press start menu, then write “node”, then click on “node.js command prompt” (as admin), but i prefer to have a shortcut in desktop
