JavaScript
node.js
Scripting languages are a blast.
node.js is the dominant JavaScript
server-side runtime. Install the
latest LTS (Long Term Support) version on your machine to get started.
The default install settings will be fine.
After you install (or if you already have it), open a command shell (cmd, powershell, terminal, etc) and confirm that you can do:
prompt> node --version v18.17.1
It doesn't need to be that specific version, as long as it's not horribly out of date.
Assignment Checklist
Install node.js and verify you can run it from your preferred shell
