Node.js is an open source cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment built on the Google V8 engine. It allows developers to develop back-end applications using JavaScript language, thus providing server-side development capabilities. Node.js adopts an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, can efficiently handle a large number of I/O operations, and supports concurrent processing, making it one of the preferred development languages for modern web applications.
The installation of Node.js is very simple. Since it can run on multiple operating systems, we need to choose the corresponding installation file according to our own operating system. In this article, we will introduce how to install nodejs.msi on Windows systems.
Step 1: Download nodejs.msi
First we need to download the nodejs.msi file from the official website of Node.js (https://nodejs.org/). After entering the official website, click the "Download" button to enter the download page. In the download page, we can see two different versions: LTS version and Current version. The LTS version is a long-term support version with better stability and compatibility, while the Current version contains new features and changes. For some developers who need the latest features, they can choose the Current version.
Select the LTS or Current version according to your needs, and then enter the corresponding download page. In the download page, we can see some system information. If the operating system you are using is the same as the information on the download page, you can download the nodejs.msi file directly.
Step 2: Run the nodejs.msi file
After downloading the nodejs.msi file, double-click to open it and run it. After opening, an installation wizard will pop up. We only need to install it step by step according to the default settings. If you need to customize the installation location or other settings, you can set them as needed.
Step 3: Verify whether Node.js is successfully installed
After the installation is completed, we need to verify whether Node.js is successfully installed. We can use command line tools to verify this.
Press Win R to enter the running interface, and enter cmd to enter the command line mode. Enter the "node -v" command on the command line. If the version number of Node.js is successfully output, it means that Node.js has been installed successfully. If the prompt "'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.", it means that Node.js is not installed correctly.
At this point, you have successfully installed Node.js. In the following learning and development, you should pay attention to choosing appropriate modules and frameworks according to the actual situation, and continue to learn new knowledge and continuously improve your skill level.
