if you don't have nodejs installed, you might need to install it and set it in your path variables

Make sure to refresh the page between searches!

Troubleshooting

If it is not building and it says cannot find "crow.h", try to change CMakeLists.txt from include_directories to target_include_directories.

if attempting to rebuild, delete the build folder in between attempts, and ensure that the build folder and CMakeLists.txt is located inside cpp_backend.
