Digging Into Node.js Setup

Setup

Make sure you have Node 11+ installed.

Type node -v in your command line to check your version.

Install sqlite3: npm install sqlite3

For Windows

This course was designed for unix-based systems. Microsoft announced Windows will eventually be released on top of unix as well, but until then, students were able to follow the course on Windows by using git bash.

Git can be downloaded from: https://git-scm.com/

Once installed on windows it comes with git bash.

Git Bash can be opened from Start -> Git -> Git Bash

  • This will open a command line program that can be interacted with.

  • Or you can open Windows Explorer and navigate to the project directory, from there right click and click on "Git Bash Here". This is nice because it will open the command line with the path already set to the project directory.

From there, you can type linux equivalent OS commands. Things like input / output redirection all work. Setting environment variables works as well. Students on Windows are able to follow the course 100% so far without any problems.
