`node [options] [V8 options] [script.js | -e "script" | - ] [arguments]`
|
||
|
||
Please see the [Command-line options][] document for more information.
|
||
|
||
## Example
|
||
An example of a [web server][] written with Node.js which responds with
|
||
`'Hello, World!'`:
|
||
|
||
Commands in this document start with `$` or `>` to replicate how they would
|
||
appear in a user's terminal. Do not include the `$` and `>` characters. They are
|
||
there to show the start of each command.
|
||
|
||
Lines that don’t start with `$` or `>` character show the output of the previous
|
||
command.
|
||
|
||
First, make sure to have downloaded and installed Node.js. See
|
||
[Installing Node.js via package manager][] for further install information.
|
||
|
||
Now, create an empty project folder called `projects`, then navigate into it.
|
||
|
||
Linux and Mac:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ mkdir ~/projects
|
||
$ cd ~/projects
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Windows CMD:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
> mkdir %USERPROFILE%\projects
|
||
> cd %USERPROFILE%\projects
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Windows PowerShell:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
> mkdir $env:USERPROFILE\projects
|
||
> cd $env:USERPROFILE\projects
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Next, create a new source file in the `projects`
|
||
folder and call it `hello-world.js`.
|
||
|
||
Open `hello-world.js` in any preferred text editor and
|
||
paste in the following content:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const http = require('http');
|
||
|
||
const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
|
||
const port = 3000;
|
||
|
||
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
|
||
res.statusCode = 200;
|
||
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
|
||
res.end('Hello, World!\n');
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
|
||
console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Save the file, go back to the terminal window, and enter the following command:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ node hello-world.js
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Output like this should appear in the terminal:
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
Server running at http://127.0.0.1:3000/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Now, open any preferred web browser and visit `http://127.0.0.1:3000`.
|
||
|
||
If the browser displays the string `Hello, World!`, that indicates
|
||
the server is working.
