# Node.js Bootstrapping Guide
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A [Boxstarter][] script can be used for easy setup of Windows systems with all
|
|
|
|
|
the required prerequisites for Node.js development. This script will install
|
|
|
|
|
the following [Chocolatey] packages:
|
|
|
|
|
* [Git for Windows][] with the `git` and Unix tools added to the `PATH`
|
|
|
|
|
* [Python 2.x][]
|
|
|
|
|
* [Visual Studio 2017 Build Tools][] with [Visual C++ workload][]

|
To install Node.js prerequisites using [Boxstarter WebLauncher][], just open
|
|
|
|
|
[this link](http://boxstarter.org/package/nr/url?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodejs/node/master/tools/bootstrap/windows_boxstarter)
|
|
|
|
|
with Internet Explorer or Edge browser on the target machine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use PowerShell. Run those commands from an elevated
|
|
|
|
|
PowerShell terminal:
|
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
|
|
|
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
|
|
|
|
|
iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://boxstarter.org/bootstrapper.ps1'))
|
|
|
|
|
get-boxstarter -Force
|
|
|
|
|
Install-BoxstarterPackage https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodejs/node/master/tools/bootstrap/windows_boxstarter -DisableReboots
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Entire installation will take up about 8 GB of disk space.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
* `make`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To bootstrap Node.js on Linux, run in terminal:
|
|
|
|
|
* OpenSUSE: `sudo zypper install git python gcc-c++ make`
|
|
|
|
|
* Fedora: `sudo dnf install git python gcc-c++ make`
