[PART 1: Installing Node.js – 0:45–2:00]
🎙️ Host (screen share with browser):
“Before we can use Playwright, we need to install Node.js, since Playwright runs on it.”
Steps:
Open your browser


Go to: https://nodejs.org


Download the LTS version (recommended for most users)


🎯 Once installed, open your terminal or command prompt and type:
bash
CopyEdit
node -v
npm -v

“If you see version numbers here, that means Node.js is installed successfully. Great job!”

🎙️ Host (VS Code or terminal view):
“Now let’s create our Playwright project the easy way using the official Playwright initializer.”
Step-by-step:
Create a folder for your project
Example:

bash
CopyEdit
mkdir playwright-js-tutorial
cd playwright-js-tutorial


Now run the magic command:

bash
CopyEdit
npm init playwright@latest


🎯 This command does everything for you!
You’ll see prompts like:
“Do you want to use TypeScript or JavaScript?”
👉 Choose JavaScript


“Where to put tests?”

✅ You can start writing tests right away — no extra setup needed!

🧪 [PART 4: Run Your First Test – 6:00–7:30]
