Answer 1

I had the same issue ^^; For MAC user.

You are currently in your node interpreter you need to exit it and then run the Unix commands, touch script.js

To exit node

1. Press Ctrl+C twice or type.exit

To run Unix command

 2.Type touch script.js

Answer 2

I think you need to first create a file called script.js.

-> for creating empty file

touch script.js

-> enter your node commands for eg

console.log("Hello world").

->then run node script.js .

If you rune node and type enter, you will enter into node's REPL mode where you can execute and try all the commands node offers node REPL tutorial , usage of node REPL mode

NOTE:- when running node script.js make sure you are in the correct directory.otherwise you may get an error similar to "file not exist" as node would not be able to find your script.js if you are not in the right directory.
