Now let us discuss each point.

First, open a notepad file and write following JavaScript code in it.

console.log("Hello, World!")

Now save the file with .js extension. For this article, I am saving it as ‘Main.js’.

Second step is to open Node.js command prompt. For that, you can type ‘node’ in the windows search box.

In the last step write the following command in Node.js command prompt

Node c:\temp\Main.js

Once you run this command, you could see the ‘Hello world’ message on the screen.
