It is open-source, totally free of cost, and millions of developers use it across the globe.

Additionally, it includes everything you need to run a program written in JavaScript.

You are required to Install Node JS framework before start building your Node.js application.

The Node.js framework is available for a variety of operating systems such as Windows, Ubuntu, and OS X.

We have to install these modules separately.

Node.js provides a package manager for installing and managing all these external modules, which is called Node Package Manager(NPM).

Also, it will set the Node path to the Systems path variable, so as it is accessible throughout the system.

The successful installation will show a dialogue box, as shown below.

The release cycle of the npm CLI client isnt in sync with the Node.js releases.

The installer is a pretty common interface it wont take long to get through it (under a minute), even though there are a few parts to it.

Consequently, theres almost always a newer version of npm than the one that is installed by default with a given version of Node.

It installs packages to their directory and then symlinks their files into usrlocal.

We can use Homebrew for the installation of Node.js also.

Follow the steps below to install Node.js and NPM using Homebrew.

Homebrew takes care of downloading, unpacking, and installing Node and NPM on your system.

The whole process (after you have XCode and Homebrew installed) wont take more than a few minutes.
