Node.js azure installation

Question

I have create virtual machine in azure cloud. Then I install 64 bit nodejs with msi. I am trying to run node js in powershell. I am getting following error.

How can I fix this?

PS C:\Program Files\nodejs>
PS C:\Program Files\nodejs> node
node : The term 'node' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check
the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I'm assuming that you're using Windows Server 2012. You will find everything in the Control Panel. If you want to use the shell instead follow the post from @Zugwalt. — Horizon_Net, Feb 19 '14 at 15:17

Node was likely not set to be in your execution path by default. Try adding it to your path:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\nodejs

And then running it:

node

If that works go ahead and add it to your path permanently using setx.
