# Setting up node in bash on WSL

Setting up Node on WSL is easiest when done with NVM. To do this go into bash and run the following:

```bash
touch ~/.bashrc
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
```

Once NVM is installed close and reopen bash, then run the following:

```bash
nvm install node
```

At this point you should be able to run node inside bash. This also works inside the VS Code terminal.

The most current release of NVM can be found at https://github.com/creationix/nvm/releases
