[Node.js code sample] (sample_nodejs_linux.js) that runs on Ubuntu Linux. The sample connects to Azure SQL Database by using the Tedious driver.

Required software items

Open your terminal and install node and npm, unless they are already installed on your machine.

sudo apt-get install node
sudo apt-get install npm

After your machine is configured with node and npm, navigate to a directory where you plan to create your Node.js project, and enter the following commands.

sudo npm init
sudo npm install tedious

npm init creates a node project. To retain the defaults during your project creation, press enter until the project is created. Now you see a package.json file in your project directory.
