IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1 Missing Javascript Libraries Menu in Settings

Question

I am a bit confused... I have IntellJ IDEA 2017.1 and I am trying to set up some external JS libraries, as per the JetBrains documentation I should go to

Settings > Languages & Frameworks > JavaScript > Libraries

And from there download the library I need... Except, there is no Libraries sub-menu item under JavaScript.

I have the JavaScript Support plugin enabled, so I really don't understand why it's missing.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: Here is the screen of the menu I use to access Settings while I am NOT in a project.

You have opened default project settings (File | Default Settings). Default settings is a template for new project, there is no way to set up libraries there. You should have opened your project preferences instead (File | Settings on Windows/Linux or Idea | Preferences on OSX)

No I opened Settings from the Welcome screen... `Configure` dropdown and then `Settings` – Tony Morello Apr 10 '17 at 14:52
Added the screen of the menu as well... just for clarity. – Tony Morello Apr 10 '17 at 14:54
Only default settings are available from Welcome screen, when no projects are opened. See what's written at the top of your first screen: `Languages & Frameworks > JavaScript For default project` – lena Apr 10 '17 at 15:53
Yep you are right... Thanks... I never noticed that. – Tony Morello Apr 10 '17 at 17:36
