Prerequisite

You must install Node.js before you can install Remix.js. Verify that npm and Node.js are installed on your computer. If not, get Node.js. from the official website and install it.

Verify that Node is up to date on your machine. Run the below command in your terminal to verify, then compare the result with the most recent LTS version found at https://nodejs.org/

node -v

Once you install Node.js, the npm command will appear in your command line.

Now that you have Node updated to the latest version and npm, create an empty folder anywhere you want, for example in your home folder.
