I remember installing the Nodejs on a windows machine and the terminal window (Command Prompt) has been replaced by a window fullscreen. If I’m not mistaken I had an option during installation.

I recently installed the Nodejs v4.6.0 and I didn’t see this option.

This substitution is possible?

  • Node js is just a command line executable, it does not replace the terminal. You are probably confused with a vim or vi style editor.

  • It doesn’t replace the terminal, it just has that executable where you can run the codes. Regardless of this it is possible to do it in the Windows terminal itself.

  • Github installs git-shell. That’s what you’re looking for. Anyway, you always get two, the windows terminal and the github terminal.

Hello, friend. You are probably confusing. Node.js does not install any new terminal on any Operating System. What may have happened is you have followed a tutorial that guided you to install the git bash. But remember that it is highly recommended that you learn and run Node.js in a Unix-like environment.

And yes it is possible to replace the Windows terminal (prompt command) by others like the git bash.

Install VS Code. It will give you your development environment and activate the terminal without having to use windows cmd.
