Question

I’m trying to get my node.js Hello World code to work. My problem is that when I try to run my “Hello World” js script file on my node console, I get “…” and it keeps repeating this until I run .clear command.

But when I type my hello code directly into console, everything works just fine… I’m using Windows 7 x64.

Here is a screenshot of the result:

You are trying to run your program inside node itself. The console you are starting your program from, is for raw javascript code. The line you wrote there is meant to be run in the windows terminal. Try the same command there and it’ll work.
