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:
mkdir ~/projects
cd ~/projects
Windows CMD:
mkdir %USERPROFILE%\projects
cd %USERPROFILE%\projects
Windows PowerShell:
mkdir $env:USERPROFILE\projects
cd $env:USERPROFILE\projects
Next, create a new source file in the projects
folder and call it hello-world.js
.
Open hello-world.js
in any preferred text editor and paste in the following content:
const http = require('node:http');
const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
res.statusCode = 200;
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
res.end('Hello, World!\n');
});
server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
});
Save the file. Then, in the terminal window, to run the hello-world.js
file, enter:
node hello-world.js
Output like this should appear in the terminal:
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!
