+Note that Node JS run really slowly on the EV3 brick and is limited to NPM version 0.10.29 which can be a problem when trying to install some libraries.
+{: .alert .alert-warning}
+
+**Before you start, make sure that you have configured a network connection to
+your ev3dev device and have opened an SSH connection to it.**
+
+## Installing ev3dev-lang
+To install the library run:
+
+```shell
+npm install ev3dev-lang
+```
+
+Now whenever you want to use this in code, just write:
+
+```javascript
+var ev3dev = require('ev3dev-lang');
+```
+
+For a bit more info on this visit the ev3dev-lang [github page](https://github.com/wasabifan/ev3dev-lang-js).
+
+## Nano
+For this tutorial, we will be using nano. For more info on how to use nano check out the [nano cheat sheet](/docs/tutorials/nano-cheat-sheet).
+
+## Hello world 
+Navigate to a project directory (e.g `~/src/js`) and make a new file with `touch test.js`
+
+Open it with `nano test.js` and write:
+```javascript
+var test = 'hello world!';
+console.log(test);
+```
+
+Running `node test.js`should print `hello world!` to the console. If this worked you are ready to start coding with node!
+
+## Motors
+Plug a ev3 large motor into port A, then open `test.js` and write:
+
+{% include /style/icon.html type="warning" %}
+This snippet of code will not work for any other motors!
+{: .alert .alert-warning}
+
+```javascript
+var ev3dev = require('ev3dev-lang');
+
+var motor = new ev3dev.LargeMotor('outA'); // create new motor plugged into port A called 'motor'
+
+motor.runForever(200); // run motor at speed 200
+
+setTimeout(function () {
+  motor.stop(); // stop the motor after a second
+}, 1000)
+```
+
+If you get any errors when you try to run this, make sure your motor is plugged in correctly.
+
+For other motors such as the `MeduimMotor`, check the [default supported motors](http://wasabifan.github.io/ev3dev-lang-js/modules/_motors_.html) list.
+
+And from reading the [documentation page](http://wasabifan.github.io/ev3dev-lang-js) you should be able to get a good idea of what methods you can use with the motor (things like `runForever()` and `runForTime()`). Then when you use it in code, it should look like:
+
+```javascript
+motor.doSomething(speed, otherArgument) // where doSomething can be replaced by any valid method.
+```
+
+You can also **reset** and **read** the position of a motor using `motor.reset()` and `motor.position`.
+
+## Sensors
+Plug a ev3 color sensor into port 1, then edit `test.js` again appending this to the bottom:
+
+```javascript
+var sensor = new ev3dev.ColorSensor('in1'); // create new color sensor called 'sensor'. in1 refers to port 1
+
+setInterval(function () {
+  console.log(sensor.reflectedLightIntensity); // log the reflected light percent of the sensor every 300 milliseconds
+}, 300)
+```
+
+For other sensors, check the [default supported sensors](http://wasabifan.github.io/ev3dev-lang-js/modules/_sensors_.html) list.
+
+To change a sensors mode you'll need to check what modes it has by looking at the [ev3dev sensor list](http://docs.ev3dev.org/projects/lego-linux-drivers/en/ev3dev-jessie/sensor_data.html) and use:
+
+```javascript
+sensor.mode = 'NEW-MODE'; // where 'NEW-MODE' can be replaced by any valid mode
+```
+
+And then using `sensor.someValueAcessor` will return the sensor value, where `someValueAcessor` can be replaced by any valid accessor (also found on the [default supported sensors](http://wasabifan.github.io/ev3dev-lang-js/modules/_sensors_.html) list by clicking on the sensor you are using)
+
+## Next steps
+So that's the basic overview of how to use node with ev3dev! For info on all supported sensors, motors and other documentation visit the [github page](https://github.com/wasabifan/ev3dev-lang-js) and the [documentation page](http://wasabifan.github.io/ev3dev-lang-js).
+
+The documentation page looks a bit confusing, but what you really need to worry about are the names of the classes and the **methods** / **accessors**. (eg. the large motor has **methods** such as: `runForever()`, `runForTime()` etc and the color sensor has **accessors** such as: `reflectedLightIntensity`, `ambientLightIntensity` etc)
+
+The [sensor list](http://docs.ev3dev.org/projects/lego-linux-drivers/en/ev3dev-jessie/sensor_data.html) and the [motor list](http://docs.ev3dev.org/projects/lego-linux-drivers/en/ev3dev-jessie/motor_data.html) are both really useful pages aswell.
