Setting up a simple Node App

Posted in Uncategorized

Assuming that you have already installed Node and npm, we create a project folder called “simple” …

mkdir simple
cd simple
npm init

Use all the default response to the npm prompts. This gives us a package.json and assumes index.js as your starting point.

Type the following into your index.js, which was taken from NodeJs.org getting started guide …

Type “node index.js” in your terminal and open browser to http://localhost:3000/ and you got your simple Node app that says “Hello World”.
