Tomorrow\u2019s Mission Control will be held at PlugIn@Blk 71<\/a>.\u00a0 Pallav, one of our teaching assistants, will be reviewing and having hands-on exercises for Node.JS, a library for writing capabilities to be able create scalable<\/a> Internet applications, notably web servers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Node.js is a packaged compilation of Google\u2019s V8 JavaScript engine<\/a>, the libuv platform abstraction layer<\/a>, and a core library<\/a>, which is itself primarily written in JavaScript<\/a>.<\/p>\n

See you tomorrow at Blk 71!\u00a0 Please make sure to follow the preparation instructions below (after your submission deadline tonight)!<\/p>\n

Installation<\/b><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
If you\u2019d like to participate in the workshop, please install node before-hand. Instructions for different Operating Systems are listed here:<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Windows<\/b><\/div>\n
Go to\u00a0http:\/\/nodejs.org\/<\/a>. Click INSTALL. Follow through the installation process. To check that it works, go to the start menu and search for \u201cpowershell\u201d. Run it. Now type \u201cnode \u2013version\u201d. If you see a number, you\u2019re set.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mac<\/b><\/div>\n
Go to\u00a0http:\/\/nodejs.org\/<\/a>. Click INSTALL. Follow through the installation process. Run Terminal and type \u201cnode \u2013version\u201d and press enter. If you see a number, you\u2019re set.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Linux<\/b><\/div>\n
Go to\u00a0http:\/\/nodejs.org\/<\/a>. Now you have two options. You could, if you wish, click DOWNLOADS and get the Linux Binaries for your computer. However, you might prefer to install from source. To do this, click INSTALL, extract the folder, open it in a terminal, and follow through the process inside the README.md file (follow the \u201cUnix\/Mac\u201d instructions). Run \u201cnode \u2013version\u201d to check that it works.<\/div>\n
Note: For the purpose of keeping up-to-date with the latest version of Node.js, avoid using a package manager to install it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Important Downloads<\/b><\/div>\n
