#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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Download Postman
