Ready to dive into Node.js development? Setting up your environment is the

first step! 🌟 Here’s a quick guide to get you started:

  1. Install Node.js: Download and install Node.js from the official website. This will also install npm (Node Package Manager).

  2. Create a Project Folder Organize your files by creating a dedicated folder for your project.

  3. Initialize Your Project: Use npm init to create a package.json file, which will manage your project dependencies.

  4. Install Essential Packages: Get started with essential packages like Express for building web applications by running npm install express.

  5. Create Your First Server: Write a simple server using Node.js to understand how it handles requests and responses.

With these steps, you're on your way to building powerful and efficient back end applications with Node.js! Happy coding! 💻✨
