First time using node.js - “ReferenceError: node is not defined”

Question

I just installed node.js. I tried writing node -v that should check the version - and it\'s not working. this is the output:

 > node -v ReferenceError: node          


        

Answer 1

Instead of node.exe, try to run node from "Node.js command prompt".

First, you should install nodejs.msi from nodejs.org.

Once installation is completed, go to: Start > All Programs > Node.js > Node.js command prompt.

It worked for me.
