Getting Started with Node.js

Without any further ado, let's get our hand dirty with the Node.js.

Installation

1 Download and install Node.js from the official website.

2 Create a Simple Server:

Save the following code in a file named app.js:

const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello, Node.js!\n');
});

server.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running at http://localhost:3000/');
});

3 Run the Application:

Open the terminal, navigate to your project directory, and execute:

node app.js

4 View in Browser:

Open your browser and visit: http://localhost:3000 to see the Node.js application in action.
