Simplify steps (here is what i did)

Step 1: In google, typed 'node JS windows', clicked the msi download. Step 2: Run it, install, click next next next finish. Step 3: Right click listServer.js in the folder, properties, and unblock, then tell it to open by default with (box opens up, navigate to folder) node js. Step 4: Open Cmd box, do the following:

  • C:\Users\Matt> cd some\path\to\NodeListServer
  • C:\Users\Matt\some\path\to\NodeListServer> npm install
  • (... wait, should say added approx 67 packages)

Step 5: close that box and double click listServer.js, it should say "Listening on HTTP port 8889" , this part is now finished.

Whole step took 3 mins, one easily missed part that makes the listServer.js instantly close is not right clicking and unblocking.

Perfect - I'll probably move the install instructions into it's own documentation. I'll do that tomorrow maybe?
