I'd like to point out here that I just spent a good 5 minutes punching variants on "computer path", "node path", "node install path", etc. into Google. And exactly zero results on the first page for any of those queries have anything to do with how to configure the PATH variable in your shell.

If someone didn't know what they were trying to solve for here, I'm not sure google would help them succeed.

I just searched "computer path" (no quotes) on DDG and got: - The wiki page for 'path' as a computing concept - 3rd result is "how to set the path in MS Windows" - 6th result is the wiki page for the path variable as a computing concept

I haven't used Google web search for years, has it really gotten that bad?
