How to create a nodeJS project?

Install NPM & NodeJS

Choose a folder where you want to start your NodeJS project. Then, open the terminal and go to the folder where you want the NodeJs project. Then type “npm init”. You will get the following text. Enter the right information for each package.json items and press enter.

This utility will walk you through creating a package.json file.

It only covers the most common items, and tries to guess sensible defaults.

See npm help json for definitive documentation on these fields
and exactly what they do.
Use npm install <pkg> afterwards to install a package and
save it as a dependency in the package.json file.
Press ^C at any time to quit.
