Installation of Node.js

System requirements

The installation of Node.js under Windows can be done via Git. Alternatively, the installation package can be obtained directly from NodeJS.
During the installation you have to make sure to install the Node Packet Manager NPM as well.

Under Debian/Ubuntu Nodejs and NPM can be installed as follows:

apt install npm
npm -g install npm@latest

Download Node.js for Windows

Download the current package of Node.js from the Project website. Please use the 64bit version if possible.

Installation of Node.js

Install Node.js into the \bluespice\bin\nodejs folder using the default settings of the installer. When selecting this folder, be sure to pay attention to our instructions on the Folder Structure under Windows page, which we apply in this complete installation manual.

Open a console with administrator rights and change to the installation directory of NodeJS (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs). Execute the following commands there:

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
npm -g install npm@latest
