Step 1- Node js Installation:

If you are sure that you have already installed node js you can move you the step2.
To check your node version type “node -v” on your cmd. If it shows any version then you have node js installed in your system.

If you don't have node js installed on your system then go to the node.js site or copy or click this URL 👇👇
https://nodejs.org/en/
and click on “LTS Recommended For Most Users” to download the node js.

After downloading and installation of node js open again your node js and type “node -v” to check your node version if it shows you a number then you have successfully installed the node js. As in my case, my node js version is 14.15.5.

if you are seeing a version then you have successfully installed node js in your system otherwise repeat step 1 and good luck with that.
