To install Mocha.js for Node.js, follow these steps:

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
  2. Navigate to your project directory where you want to install Mocha.js.
  3. Run the following command to install Mocha globally:
1
npm install -g mocha


This will install Mocha.js globally on your system, allowing you to run tests from any project.

  1. Next, navigate to your project directory in the terminal.
  2. Run the following command to install Mocha.js as a dev dependency in your project:
1
npm install --save-dev mocha


This will install Mocha.js locally in your project, making it available for testing.

  1. You can now create test files with the .js extension in your project directory and run them using Mocha.js.
  2. To run your Mocha tests, use the following command in the terminal:
1
mocha


This command will run all test files in the current directory and subdirectories.


That's it! You have successfully installed Mocha.js for Node.js and can now start writing and running tests for your project.
