How to install nodejs on Xampp localhost

localhost, node.js, xampp

Solution

After searching (source), I have found, that it's easier to install Node.js directly (so, no need of XAMP/WAMP):

Install http://nodejs.org/download/

Create a test file (example) C:\myFolder\test.js and put this code in that file:

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(1337, "127.0.0.1");
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1337/');

Open CMD (COMMAND PROMPT) and execute:

`node C:\myFolder\test.js`

Open this address in your browser: `http://127.0.0.1:1337/`

Problem

Been seeing a lot of how to's on how to install nodejs but nothing is at all clear. So I ask... Can someone provide a step by step installation guide for installing and using nodejs on a xampp server?
