Node.js
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. It allows developers to use JavaScript on the server-side to build fast, scalable, and efficient web applications. Node.js is used for building server-side applications, command-line tools, and scripts. It provides an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, making it an ideal choice for building data-intensive, real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
First check if you have Node.js installed in your MacOS
node -v
# If it returns command not found. Then you don't have it. You can easily get Node.js through brew package manger
# To get the brew in your machine
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
# If you have homebrew installed do
brew install node
# Check the version again to confirm that node.js is working
node -v
