Installing NodeJS on windows machine ?

Hello,

How do I Install NodeJS on my windows Machine ?? I Searched All the available blogs for info, I found none of them are useful. so Is it possible for me to install Nodejs on my windows machine. If the answer is yes can anyone please explain the procedure. BTW I'm using windows XP

+3  A: 

node.js does not currently run on Windows.

If you want to experiment with it on Windows, the easiest way is to install some virtualisation software and run Linux within it, then install node on that.

This article walks you through it.

@Mark, I installed ubuntu 10.04 just for the sake of working with Nodejs. I know it may sound stupid. But I'm getting an error during installation. Do I need to manually install Python on my unix machine ? I'm pretty new to unix platform. can u please guide me. Thank you

I'm not a Unix/Linux expert by any means, and you would need to provide much more detail than that anyway. What does the error say? I think your best bet is to post your install problem as a separate question, here or perhaps on http://serverfault.com/

These instructions just worked for me on 10.04. http://www.codediesel.com/linux/installing-node-js-on-ubuntu-10-04/

I was able to get Node running perfectly well on XP by using Cygwin. These instructions worked well for me.
