  • Client: it runs in a web browser using <script> tags; it has access to the web page functions and objects (i.e. the Document Object Model or DOM)
  • Server: the Node.js runtime executes JavaScript on the server, it has access to built-in and third-party packages; usually used for building web services.
  • Native: build native desktop and mobile applications with Electron, React Native and NativeScript

Nodejs⚓︎

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime to execute scripts out of the browser.

To install Node.js, use nvm (Node Version Manager) following the install instructions on the official GitHub repository. Test it with just nvm.

Then install Node.js: 

nvm install node
And test it with 
node -v
To run any JavaScript application (as simple as console.log('Ciao mondo! 🥙');), use 
node APPLICATION_NAME.js
