You can use child_process exec method. here is an example:

var exec = require('child_process').exec,
    child;

child = exec('echo %PATH%',
    function (error, stdout, stderr) {
        if(stdout!==''){
            console.log('---------stdout: ---------\n' + stdout);
        }
        if(stderr!==''){
            console.log('---------stderr: ---------\n' + stderr);
        }
        if (error !== null) {
            console.log('---------exec error: ---------\n[' + error+']');
        }
    });
