### Install and configure the Node.js SDK
{table:class=tutorial-bullets}|  | 
| --- | --- |
|{videotime:id=media :min=0 :sec=20 :player=cld} | You need to [install and configure the Cloudinary Node.js SDK](node_integration) with your [product environment credentials](product_environment_settings#api_keys).

### Upload a video using the Node.js SDK
{table:class=tutorial-bullets}|  | 
| --- | --- |
|{videotime:id=media :min=0 :sec=28 :player=cld} | Upload a video from a local folder using the `upload` method of the [Upload API](image_upload_api_reference#upload). Use the `await` keyword to get the result and print the delivery URL of the uploaded video. 

### Run the script from the terminal
{table:class=tutorial-bullets}|  | 
| --- | --- |
|{videotime:id=media :min=1 :sec=02 :player=cld} | Run the script from the terminal and then paste the URL in a browser to see the video.

### Use the upload large method for big videos
{table:class=tutorial-bullets}|  | 
| --- | --- |
|{videotime:id=media :min=1 :sec=18 :player=cld} | Use the `upload_large` method to upload big videos using chunks. The method does not return a promise, but you can wrap the code with your own promise and await the response.

### Run the script again from the terminal
{table:class=tutorial-bullets}|  | 
| --- | --- |
|{videotime:id=media :min=2 :sec=04 :player=cld} | Run the script from the terminal to upload the big video (the script takes a bit longer to run), and then paste the URL in a browser to see the video.
