Use npm init To Create New Node Projects

Adding a [TODO: Code shorthand span ] file to a directory turns it into a node project. You can do this manually, or use ` npm init ` . For example : 

mkdir new_project_name
  cd new_project_name
  npm init

You'll be asked a series of questions to configure the setup. I usually just hit enter for all of them. The process produces a [TODO: Code shorthand span ] file based on your answers.

To get something that runs, make an [TODO: Code shorthand span ] file with something like :

js 
#!/usr/bin/env node

  console.log('here')

From there, use [TODO: Code shorthand span ] to install modules. For example, install puppeteer with : 

npm i puppeteer

Probably a good idea to do an 

git init

And then push in the .gitignore and all that jazz.
