To get started with developing using the Koa framework, you need to have Node and npm(node package MANAGER) installed. If you don’t already have these, HEAD over to Node setup to install node on your local SYSTEM. Confirm that node and npm are installed by running the following commands in your terminal.

$ node --version
$ npm --version

You should get an output similar to:

v5.0.0
3.5.2

Please ensure your node version is above 6.5.0.

Now that we have Node and npm set up, LET us understand what npm is and how to USE it.
