a. Downloading & Installation of node

• Open the windows-nvm repository in your internet browser.
• Download the nvm-setup.zip file for the most recent release.
• Once downloaded, open the zip file, then open the nvm-setup.exe file.
• The Setup-NVM-for-Windows installation wizard will walk you through the setup steps, including choosing the directory where both nvm-windows and Node.js will be installed.
• Once the installation is complete. Open Command Prompt and try using windows-nvm to list which versions of Node are currently installed (should be none at this point): nvm ls
• Install the current release of Node.js (for testing the newest feature improvements): nvm install latest
• Install the latest stable LTS release of Node.js (recommended) by first looking up what the current LTS version number is with: nvm list available, then installing the LTS version number with: nvm install <version> (replacing <version> with the number, ie: nvm install 12.14.0).
• List what versions of Node are installed: nvm ls now you should see the two versions that you just installed listed.
• After installing the Node.js version numbers you need, select the version that you would like to use by entering: nvm use <version> (replacing <version> with the number, ie: nvm use 12.9.0).
• Verify which version of npm is installed with: npm--version, this version number will automatically change to whichever npm version is associated with your current version of Node.js.
