My big win this week has to do with one workshop I attended for Codeland 2020—which was awesome! I had to install node and npm on my mac. Node I had at least heard of but npm? Now this might seem like an easy thing to do (or at least in my head this should have been), but apparently my mac and I disagreed.
Going through the nodejs website, it looked like it had installed. Going into my terminal, mac gave a response that boils down to "What in the world are you talking about? You don't have that!" I swear I could hear a raspberry being blown. I tried it again just to be sure that it wasn't just that I had missed something. Another raspberry from the terminal.
Google provided me with an article: blog.teamtreehouse.com/install-nod... . Homebrew. Another never heard of but it made things much simpler. And it got me to the point where when I asked for the version numbers of both npm and node, I got them. Cue happy dance!
Had so much fun in the workshop--even if I have not really played with javascript before.
I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
Now check out NVM to see how easy it is to install node into your profile and (a) keep it up to date as well as (b) switch between versions (to test new versions or because sometimes you may need an older version to figure out why something isn't working for someone else)
Good luck!

I remember installing node for the first time.
The world is now your oyster! I wish you all the best on your coding journey 😊
