Make sure that you first have Node.js and npm installed. Then install sequelize.js with npm
npm install --save sequelize
You will also need to install supported database Node.js modules. You only need to install the one you are using
For MYSQL
and Mariadb
npm install --save mysql
For PostgreSQL
npm install --save pg pg-hstore
For SQLite
npm install --save sqlite
For MSSQL
npm install --save tedious
Once you have you set up installed you can include and create a new Sequalize instance like so.
ES5 syntax
var Sequelize = require('sequelize');
var sequelize = new Sequelize('database', 'username', 'password');
ES6 stage-0 Babel syntax
import Sequelize from 'sequelize';
const sequelize = new Sequelize('database', 'username', 'password');
You now have an instance of sequelize available. You could if you so feel inclined call it a different name such as
var db = new Sequelize('database', 'username', 'password');
or
var database = new Sequelize('database', 'username', 'password');
that part is your prerogative. Once you have this installed you can use it inside of your application as per the API documentation http://docs.sequelizejs.com/en/v3/api/sequelize/
Your next step after install would be to set up your own model
