Answer 1

I open a text editor, in my case I used Atom. Paste this code

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(1337, '127.0.0.1');
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1337/');

and save as

helloworld.js

in

c:\xampp\htdocs\myproject 

directory. Next I open node.js commamd prompt enter

cd c:\xampp\htdocs\myproject

next

node helloworld.js

next I open my chrome browser and I type

http://localhost:1337

and there it is.
