RunJS VS nvm

If you run this – I recommend using RunJS for running code like this locally – you'll see the following:

If you would like to follow along or try the code examples for yourself, I strongly recommend using RunJS.

Is there an app for Python similar to https://runjs.app ?

If you're starting out, I recommend using a sandbox to test your code. Run JS is a very useful tool as it logs

RunJs https://runjs.app/ is pretty cool for playing with JavaScript by itself.

Hey! Former bootcamp student here. What I learned is that medication like Adderal, Vyvance, Ritalin, etc, doesn't help with learning because learning is a slow process. You have to chew through things to understand them and take breaks to let your brain consolidate new information. The beginning of a bootcamp is always the hardest, but after a while you figure out what routine/habits/learning style/etc works for you. Additionally, after getting the hang of Javascript basics, things usually get easier. (sidenote - RunJS is a great tool to use to learn)

OK, I see. My machine has node v12.22.9 installed, probably since I installed it from apt. I downloaded 18.12.1 from the site above, but alas, I do not know how to install it. I'll have to read the docs it seems. It will be helpful to learn as I've tried to install runjs on my Ubuntu laptop, but I can't figure how as it seems I have to install it from binaries also (which I have no idea how to).

Node.js + Nvm - runtime for javascript without a browser

Install Node.js if it hasn't been installed. There are several ways to install Node.js. You may download the installer from the official website, or install it with tools like NVM. After installation, run this command to verify its installation.

Our server also needs Node.js to run our app. We could install the binary directly, but I prefer to use a tool called NVM, which allows us to easily manage Node versions. We can install it with this command:

By setting up your environment in isolation, you can prevent yourself from a lot of issues when experimenting with code. It makes your code behave more predictable due to the defined state of the runtime environment you are working with. This article should provide you with enough information to get started, but obviously, there is a lot more power embedded in NVM, Virtual Environment and RBEnv. So make sure to check their documentation.

I highly recommend setting up nodejs with a version manager, nvm was and still is a popular option, however, I now recommend and have been using fnm, a simpler and faster alternative to manage my nodejs versions.

The purpose of a version manager is to help you navigate or install any tools for development easily. Version Manager can be one tool for each dependency (e.g. NVM, g) or One tool for all dependencies (e.g. asdf, mise).

I usually develop on Windows so I installed NVM for Windows from here, but if you’re on other OS I’m sure you can find a version that supports it, probably this is the answer.

This was a very quick introduction to how I setup NodeJS on my environment using nvm. If you have any questions please refer to the official documentation or contact me via my Social Links.
