Hey everyone, I'm a total beginner and I'm working on a university project that involves using n8n, but I'm completely lost. I've tried to install it, but I keep running into issues. I heard that installing Node.js version 20 might help, but I can't even get that to install properly. I keep getting errors. Here's what I have:
- CPU: Intel i3 6006U
- RAM: 8GB
- System: 64-bit Windows 10
I've tried various YouTube tutorials, but nothing seems to work. After installing Node.js, I get an error saying "cannot find module" when I try to check the version with `node -v`. I tried running `npm install -g` but that doesn't work either. The installation process says I need to click to start installing packages and updates, but it ends with errors and warnings. I'm kind of at a loss here. Any advice on how to get past this?

First off, make sure you've completely uninstalled any previous versions of Node.js before trying to install the new one. Sometimes leftovers from old installations can cause problems. When you download Node.js, use the LTS version instead of the latest version; it's usually more stable for beginners. Once installed, run `node -v` and `npm -v` again to check if it worked. If you still encounter the "cannot find module" error, you might need to check your PATH environment variable to see if it includes the Node.js directory. Let me know how it goes!
I feel your pain! Installing Node.js can be tricky at times, especially if you're new. Make sure your system is up to date and try running your command prompt as an administrator. If you're getting space-related warnings, double-check to see how much storage you actually have left. Sometimes, even if it shows space available, the installation may fail if there are permissions issues. As for the npm command not working, try running it without the `-g` flag first to see if you can get it working that way.
