I just installed node.js. I tried writing node -v that should check the version - and it's not working. this is the output:
> node -v ReferenceError: node is not defined

I opened it using git - command: node
I tried running it using "Git", thought maybe that's the issue and I get the exact same output.
I am using windows 8 if it's relevant - followed this tutorial till now:

How do I make it work?
The "ReferenceError: path is not defined" occurs when we use the path module without importing it in a Node. js application. To solve the error, make sure to import the path module before using it - import path from 'path' . To solve the error, import the path module before using it.
As discussed in the introduction, a ReferenceError is a common programming fault that occurs when code references an object that hasn't been previously defined or initialized. The most common cause of such an error is simple typos.
It looks like you have entered the node REPL and then typed node -v
The good news is that this means node is working!
To check the version from here you can type process.version
to get the node version. Alternatively type process.exit()
to exit the node REPL and get back to bash (or equivalent terminal).
From here node -v
should just output the node version.
First time using node.js
Although already answered, but just putting in my 2-cents,
Normally, the first time users would trip over it, so am posting some screen shots, and that OP wants to try node -v
, so making it a bit easier to follow.
Hope it helps someone.!
Instead of node.exe, try to run node from "Node.js command prompt".
First, you should install nodejs.msi from nodejs.org.
Once installation is completed, go to: Start > All Programs > Node.js > Node.js command prompt.
It worked for me.
