Introduction: Node.js is a powerful JavaScript runtime that allows you to build scalable and efficient web applications. In this blog post, we will provide a detailed step-by-step guide on installing Node.js and setting it up on your PC. We will also walk you through executing your first code using Node.js, accompanied by images and code snippets for a seamless experience.

Step 1: Downloading Node.js Start by visiting the official Node.js website at https://nodejs.org and navigate to the Downloads page. Here, you will find the latest stable version of Node.js available for download. Choose the version suitable for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux) and click on the respective download link.

Step 2: Running the Installer Once the download is complete, locate the downloaded file and double-click to run the installer. Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed with the installation.
