- [Instructor] So let's install the tools necessary for this course. Node.js will be really important to us in this course, as well as MongoDB. So if you don't already have Node.js installed, you can download the installer from Node.js's website, www.nodejs.org. And once you've downloaded this, just double click it and it should take you through the steps required for installation. If you're using Windows or a Unix distribution, the steps might be a little different, but Node.js's website has instructions for all of these. The next step is to make sure you have the right versions of Node and NPM installed, and you can find these by opening up a terminal and typing node -v and npm -v. So these are the versions I'm using. If the NPM and Node version on your computer are higher than mine, don't worry about it. Everything should still run correctly. But I do highly recommend having at least these versions, here, for this course. So once you've done that, we'll also need MongoDB installed for some of the examples later on in the course. If you don't already have it on your computer, you can install it by following the directions on MongoDBs website. And once you've done that, feel free to continue on with the course.
