body: <p>I have <code>hello_world.js</code> file located on my computer at the following location -</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Ankur\Downloads\NodeJS\working
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It has the following code-</p>
  
  <pre><code>console.log("Hellow World");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I was reading a beginners tutorial <a href="http://www.nodebeginner.org/#hello-world" rel="noreferrer">here</a> and it says I should execute my javascript file through node.js. Now I have no idea what to do. How would I do this.</p>
  
  <p>When I do this ...

  What should I be doing to run the hello world successfully. None of the tutorials seem to be showing what needs to be done.</p>
  
  <p>I am very new to this so it is probably something that is very obvious to you guys.</p>
