if you're executing the JS in the browser - you cannot do it. Browser-based JS doesn't have access to the hard drive at all. You won't open anything (unless file is provided through file selector in HTML) and you won't store anything.

If you're using Node.js, you can do it with fs.mkdir() or fs.mkdirSync() - https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_mkdirsync_path_mode
