Are you wondering how to install JavaScript on your Windows 11 computer? Good news—you don’t actually “install” JavaScript like traditional software. JavaScript is a scripting language that runs directly inside your web browser (such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox). This means if you already have a browser installed, you already have JavaScript running on your system. However, if you want to run JavaScript outside the browser—like for development, coding projects, or server-side applications—you’ll need to install Node.js, which provides a runtime environment for executing JavaScript on Windows.
In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll guide you through the entire process of setting up JavaScript on Windows 11. By the end, you’ll be able to write, test, and run your own JavaScript code easily.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this video:
* The role of JavaScript in browsers vs. standalone environments
* How to check if JavaScript is already enabled in your web browser
* Downloading and installing Node.js on Windows 11
* Verifying the installation using Command Prompt or PowerShell
* Writing your first JavaScript program and running it locally
* Tips for choosing the right code editor (VS Code recommended)
Whether you’re a complete beginner or just getting started with web development, this guide will help you set up everything correctly. Once Node.js is installed, you’ll also have access to npm (Node Package Manager), which allows you to install powerful libraries and frameworks like
