Node.js installation guides

Node.js is the standard toolchain to install dependencies, compile modern web apps (React/Vite/Next), and produce a clean production build that you can publish safely. Even if your final project runs as static files on IIS/Nginx, Node.js is usually required to generate the optimized output (dist/ or build/) and validate that everything is ready for production.
