Hellooooo there, beautiful, amazing and gorgeous people.
In this tutorial we will be going over installing npm.
As a general note, this tutorial will work for windows, mac, and linux users.
Let’s get started!
Go to npmjs.com/get-npm, scroll down until you find a header that says “Install npm”, or a “Download” button.
Click the “Download” button.
This will take you to the nodejs.org webpage. This is because npm is part of a software called nodejs.
Scroll down in the nodejs webpage and download whichever version you wish to play around with. I suggest you install the latest version, but in some cases it might cause compatibility issues when working with a project. I will go ahead and install version 6. Installing the latest version should not affect you in being able to follow this tutorial.
Go ahead and get the nodejs installer. Open the installer and follow the install instructions. Leave the default options unless you know what you’re doing.
Once you’re at the last step, click the “Install” button and wait for it to complete. After this you should have npm in your system.
Now, if you’re using windows, you need a nice command line tool with which to use npm. If you’re using mac or linux you can use the terminal that comes with your operating system.
For Windows users, the tool we will use as the terminal is called “git bash”.
To install git bash, go to git-scm.com/downloads.
Under “Downloads”, click on “Windows” and wait for the installer download to complete.
Open the installer, and again, follow the default steps unless you know what you’re doing.
Click on the “Install” button and wait for the install to complete.
Now that you have installed nodejs and git, which includes gitbash, you are ready to go to the terminal and start playing around with npm.
To confirm that everything installed correctly, open the terminal and type the following commands
Git --version
node -v
npm -v

Each of those commands should display a version like it does on my terminal. If any of those commands doesn’t display a version, then something went wrong. Otherwise, you’re good to go!
