How Do I Download the Node Module?

You can download a Node module using the npm install command in your terminal.

Using npm Install

1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
2. Navigate to the directory where you want to install the module. You can use the cd command to change directories.
3. Type npm install <module-name> and press Enter. Replace <module-name> with the name of the module you want to download. For example, to install the express module, you would type npm install express.
4. npm will download and install the module and its dependencies. You can verify that the module is installed by checking the node_modules folder in your project directory.

Example

# Navigate to your project directory
cd my-project

# Install the express module
npm install express

Additional Notes

• You can install modules globally using the -g flag. This will install the module in your system's global node modules directory, making it available to all your projects.
• You can specify a specific version of a module by using the @ symbol followed by the version number. For example, npm install [email protected] will install version 4.17.1 of the express module.
