Nodejs not running

Question

recently I installed Nodejs on Windows 7 and it was working perfectly. Few days ago it stops running well, for example: if I write "node C:/dir/.../server.js" the console shows: "..." and do nothing.

I have checked the 80 port and it is free, can you please help me?

Answer 1

Don't enter node<enter> first. Also, you need quotes. When you've opened cmd, directly type node "C:\\Users\\Us Navy\\..." .

Answer 2

When you run the node executable without arguments it opens a repl useful for quick tinkering.

To run a file provide the file as the first argument.
