Example

create an empty project folder called projects, navigate into it: 

$ mkdir ~/projects
$ cd ~/projects

create a new source file in the projects folder and call it hello-world.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 enter the following command:

$ node hello-world.js
Server running at http://localhost:3000/

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.
