  • Increase in developer productivity
  • True asynchronous I/O operations

Let's install Node.js!

Install Node.js using nvm curl command

Your first Node.js server

const http = require("http");

http.createServer((req, res) => {

    res.end("Hello World!\n");

}).listen(3000);

Copy the above code or clone from
