The issue is because it is not able to find the .js file inside the folder. Even I faced the same issue and I fixed it, below are the steps which I performed

1. download notepad++
2. Open nodepad++ -> file -> new -> write your code -> save with ".js" extension("save as Type" must be javaScript file)
3. open cmd-> node "fileName.js"
