Install Node.js on Windows

Head over to https://nodejs.org/en/download/ to download the NodeJS Windows Installer (.msi). For this demonstration we will use the current version (v7.2.0). [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/1e097fd-Capture1.PNG", "Capture1.PNG", 864, 633, "#2b3f2c" ] } ] } [/block] Run the installer once the download competes. [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/56e7362-Capture2.PNG", "Capture2.PNG", 495, 387, "#ecedea" ] } ] } [/block] You can leave all the default settings unchanged. [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/9412695-Capture4.PNG", "Capture4.PNG", 495, 387, "#f0f0ee" ] } ] } [/block] [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/b9ba3ff-Capture5.PNG", "Capture5.PNG", 495, 387, "#f2f2f2" ] } ] } [/block] [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/c1d9dbd-Capture6.PNG", "Capture6.PNG", 495, 387, "#eaece8" ] } ] } [/block] From a new Command Prompt instance, you can run NodeJS! ``` node -v npm -v ``` [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/38c5a7f-Capture7.PNG", "Capture7.PNG", 979, 512, "#040404" ] } ] } [/block] You should also be able to install npm packages globally to run them from any directory, such as the `droplit-cli`. ``` npm install droplit-cli -g ``` [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/960402c-Capture8.PNG", "Capture8.PNG", 979, 512, "#040404" ] } ] } [/block] You can confirm the package installed correctly by calling it from any directory (the global npm package directory was added to your PATH when NodeJS was installed). [block:image] { "images": [ { "image": [ "https://files.readme.io/102206d-Capture9.PNG", "Capture9.PNG", 979, 512, "#040404" ] } ] } [/block]
