“Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js uses an event-driven, non- blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient. Node’s package ecosystem, npm, is the largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world.” nodejs.org github.com/creationix/nvm
