How do I configure Node.js for my project?

To configure Node.js, you need to set up your environment, install necessary packages, and create a configuration file.

What packages should I install for a basic web server?

For a basic web server, you should install 'express' for routing and 'dotenv' for environment variable management.

Can you show me a sample configuration file?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
require('dotenv').config();

app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000, () => {
  console.log('Server is running');
});

How do I set environment variables in Node.js?

You can set environment variables in a '.env' file and access them using 'process.env.VARIABLE_NAME'.
