Console.log 未定义

Question

I'm currently in the process of learning Node via "Learnyounode". However, when testing some javascript files on my computer, anytime I try to run even a simple "Hello World"

console.log("Hello World");

It gives me an error returning

Error: 'console' is undefined.

Is this a problem with my Command prompt or an error on my system? do I need to re-install sometime for Javascript? my code works fine in my Browser console, but not in my local Command lines.

Any help would appreciated, Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I know starting with NodeJS can be difficult... Try the follwing:

1. Create a .js file... call it test.js
2. In the file write command:

    console.log('hello world from node');

3. save the file.
4. Navigate to that directory and type:

    node test.js

Now you will see the output.

Good Luck!
