Simplify steps (here is what i did)
Step 1: In google, typed 'node JS windows', clicked the msi download.
Step 2: Run it, install, click next next next finish.
Step 3: Right click listServer.js in the folder, properties, and unblock, then tell it to open by default with (box opens up, navigate to folder) node js.
Step 4: Open Cmd box, do the following:
- C:\Users\Matt> cd some\path\to\NodeListServer
- C:\Users\Matt\some\path\to\NodeListServer> npm install
- (... wait, should say added approx 67 packages)
Step 5: close that box and double click listServer.js, it should say "Listening on HTTP port 8889" , this part is now finished.
Whole step took 3 mins, one easily missed part that makes the listServer.js instantly close is not right clicking and unblocking.
