Windows system node.js Environment configuration and installation Tutorials (detailed version) _win server

At present, the highest concern in China, the maintenance of the best one about Nodejs website should be http://www.cnodejs.org/

Simple NODEJS environment configuration under Windows System.

First step: Download the installation files

Download Address: official website https://nodejs.org/en/download/

It's used here.

Step Two: Install Nodejs

After the download is complete, double-click

Node-v6.9.1-x64.msi, start installation Nodejs, default is installed under C:\Program Files\nodejs

Step three: Install the relevant environment

Open the C:\Program Files\nodejs directory you'll find that it's got npm in it, and you can use NPM to install the environment directly

Open windows with a DOS window win+r, enter CMD, return

Type command: CD C:\Program Files\nodejs can

Start the installation of the relevant environment now

Type command: NPM install express-g carriage return waiting to be installed express ...

Type command: NPM install Jade Carriage return waits to install jade ...

Type command: NPM install MySQL carriage return waiting to install MySQL ...

........ What components to install, depending on the environment to build requirements

By default, these components are installed under the C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules folder, which is also the automatic lookup path for NODEJS related components

Step Fourth: Create a project

If you find that there are no express and express.cmd two files in the C:\Program Files\nodejs directory after installing the above components, execute the command npm install Express-generator

(due to the express default installation is the latest version, is already a 4.x.x version.) The command tool is separated from the latest express4.0+ version, so you must install Express-generator

Now there's the Express

Express commands are installed in the global only to work!

So express installation will use NPM install Express-g

or modify the global path directly:

NPM config set prefix "C:\Program Files\nodejs"

NPM config set cache "C:\Program Files\nodejs\cache" (first built cache directory)

Type: Express MyApp (MyApp is a random project name)

You'll find one more C:\Program Files\nodejs\myapp directory

By default: automatically creates

Copy Node_modules to MyApp below

The environment is built to this completion, the following do a demo test!

Create a new helloworld.js under MyApp

var http = require ("http");
Http.createserver (function (request, response) { 
  Response.writehead ({"Content-type": "Text/plain"}); 
  Response.Write ("Hello World"); 
  Response.End ();
}). Listen (8888);
Console.log ("Nodejs Start listen 8888 port!");

Enter the Node.js command prompt Commands window and enter the C:\Program Files\nodejs\myapp directory

Type node Helloworld.js

Open Address http://127.0.0.1:8888/

Discovery Output:

Hello World

Global mode and local mode installation problem Resolution:

Global mode:

Install Express and Express-generator after the path:

C:\Program Files\nodejs generates Express, express.cmd two files.

Local mode:

After installing Express and Express-generator in the path: D:\TOOLS\NodeJs did not generate Express, express.cmd two files. And in the path:

C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules There is a. bin (generated when installing express-generator) there are express, express.cmd two files.

Then add in the System environment variable path: C:\Program files\nodejs\node_modules\.bin

Try to execute again:

C:\Program files\nodejs>express-v
