  • nvm install lts
  • nvm use 22.14.0 or whatever version number
  • node --version

    • npm install -g npm@11.2.0 (to upgrade or use a specific version of npm)

Rust

The tools below are listed in the recommended installation order (as rust requires the Microsoft C++ Build Tools).

• Microsoft C++ Build Tools
  • See Rust-up's guide on the minimum or recommended install options
• Rust, using Rustup
  • rustup default stable-msvc
  • rustup update

Install both of those and then restart your computer.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Shift+Del (verbosely Shift+Delete) in File Explorer deletes directly (as opposed to copying to the recycle bin) and is MUCH faster.

In terms of file system, deleting to Recycle Bin is more or less like moving. The files you delete are put into a special protected Windows directory, and potentially the whole data needs to be read and written in a other place.

On the other hand, deleting with Shift+Del, the file is simply erased from the file system. This is mush faster, as it's not about changing the whole file, but only removing the few bytes telling that a file is there.
