Making Your First Server

First, create a new folder on your computer and name it My First Server. Next, open it in VS Code. You can do this by right clicking the folder and choosing Open with Code, or by dragging the folder into VS Code.

Once it is open, open the terminal inside VS Code. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + ` (the backtick key) or by going to View > Terminal.

Make sure the terminal shows that you are inside your project folder. You can confirm this by typing: pwd. This command shows your current location on the computer. Mine looks like this:

PS C:\Users\josep\Desktop\My First Server> pwd
Path
----
C:\Users\josep\Desktop\My First Server

If your path looks different, that is perfectly fine. As long as it ends with My First Server (Or whatever you named the folder), you are in the right spot.

Initialize your project

In your terminal, type: npm init
