Example code for mist-api on node.js

Prerequisites

If you are running on Linux x64 or OSX x64 everything should work out of the box according to the instructions below. Windows is not supported yet.

Download and install node.js v6.x: https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v6.x/. You may use Node Version Manager nvm (https://github.com/creationix/nvm).
