Question

I was trying to run my.js file in VSCode. But for some reason this line:

console.log("Hello world!");

returns:

[Running] node "c:\Users\ukkis\OneDrive\Рабочий стол\My_code\JS\test.js"
"node" �� ���� ����७��� ��� ���譥�

[Done] exited with code=1 in 0.084 seconds

what happened?

Answer 1

It seems like you haven't installed nodejs Runtime JavaScript Engine. To install:

• For Windows download and install from official website https://nodejs.org
• For Linux: sudo apt update and sudo apt install nodejs

Answer 2

Try by writing node and then file name in the cmd panel. here is the reference img.
