I want to get started with firebase on a Windows machine, but I don't understand how to get started on https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/quickstart.html .
I created a .html file with the following contents (copied from the instructions on this page). This works, information is added to the database and retrieved from the database. However, I got lost in Linux, like instructions like $ npm install -g firebase-tools on this page.
I installed nodejs after the link to nodejs.org at https://www.firebase.com/docs/hosting/quickstart.html
If I executed the above command (without linux $ -prompt) on the node.js screen, I get the following error message: npm should be run outside of the node repl, in your regular shell. (Press Control-D to exit.)
So what?

});
myFirebaseRef.child("location/city").on("value", function(snapshot) {
alert(snapshot.val());
});
