Recommended method for installing Node on Windows

  • Get the current version of node in use from the Building instructions.
  • Download and install Node Version Manager from its website: https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows
  • If you installed nvm into a path containing spaces
    • Open up the settings.txt file at your install path
    • If the root: path has a space
      1. open a cmd window and cd to the root path
    1. run dir /x to print the legacy (no-space) name of the path
    2. paste the friendly path into your settings.txt file
  • Open up a terminal and enter the following commands to grab and select the NPM version this repo uses:
    • nvm install <current version>
    • nvm use <current version>
