I have installed Node.js on Windows (binary here http://node-js.prcn.co.cc/ ) and can successfully create an HTTP server in console.
Now I have put same instructions in helloworld.js script in bin directory and run with dos prompt
node helloworld.js
and it cannot find in /usr/bin. So I put it under Node.js install directory in usr/bin but same message. I finally tried c:/usr/bin but still failed.
So where should I put my script it on windows ?

Firstly, there are no such thing as DOS prompt in Windows. And if you take effort to create one (e.g. using DosBox or another virtual machine), node.js is not supposed to be run from a DOS prompt as it's a Windows console application and not a DOS application lol. But calling Windows command prompt DOS prompt is a common misnomer, so I hope you really mean that cmd.exe prompt.
Unlike a previous commenter said, Node.js is fully supported under a complete installation of Cygwin, and almost everything works using the stripped Cygwin tree and node.js windows binaries I provide at http://node-js.prcn.co.cc.
So that /usr/bin problem is not related to an incompatibility with windows. You are even not supposed to put your .js files in bin directory of my tree - any location (and normal absolute or relative Windows path) will work.
I created an example.js in bin directory, created console.log("foo") line in it, went to start menu - windows prompt, cd to the bin directory and executed node helloworld.js without any problems.
So as I cannot reproduce your problem, I have a few questions for you:
1) Does node -v work? If yes, what does it say?
2) Did you extract whole tree (e.g. bin, lib directories etc) or just node.exe from the .7z archive I provide?
3) Are you running shell.cmd or a plain windows prompt from start menu or by running cmd.exe ? (all three ways are supported)

I'm sorry, I got this trouble on my VS Code terminal, Deno isn't recognized:
But when I try to do it in my Windows command prompt in the exact same path, it works:
Any idea how to fix that?
I'm not sure how you installed Deno, but I am assuming you did it using Windows Command while your VS Code was running, therefore it have a different terminal session.
If that's the case the VS Code terminal won't find the deno executable because it is a different session and it needs load from the PATH again.
Restart VS Code and see what happens.
If you want to be sure print the PATH variable and confirm that deno is in there.
echo %PATH%
Checkout deno_install for more installation options.
I personally like to use Choco to managed my Windows packages (I thought I run mostly WSL).
choco install deno
I have an application building in Nw.js. Its almost done, but now facing an issue. While on clicking nw.exe on code (development) it is opening very fast, within in 2 seconds. But when I create a build using nwbuild -p win64 . , it is taking a lot time of time, say a minute to open and giving a feeling that app is opening itself.
The code base when built, the .exe is 21 MB size. Appreciate, if some one could help me to understand why this happens and what to make it open faster.
nwbuild is not recommended by official now, maybe try nwjs-builder-phoenix or create you own distribute script. As I remember, nwjs-builder-phoenix also not handle node_modules folder size very good.
Here is how I distribute my package:
copy NW.js binaries client to dist folder
copy my working source project into a folder named package.nw(Windows) or app.nw in nwjs.app/Contents/Resources/(MacOS)
run npm prune --production under the path you just copy your source into. https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/prune.html
using npm package plist(for MacOS) or rcedit(for Windows) to change the binaries client's information about version, nanme, author ..etc
For mac these is alot of things needs to be changed if you want to publish to appstore http://docs.nwjs.io/en/latest/For%20Users/Advanced/Support%20for%20Mac%20App%20Store/
Is it possible to run a JavaScript file with node.js on windows? I have been trying to for hours and can't find any more solutions on the internet that work.
I have a js-file that uses scribbletune which only works with node.js.
I have node.js installed and I installed gitbash because it was recommended in a forum.
I tried to run from command prompt and gitbash but nothing seems to happen.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be very much appreciated.
There is no need to install gitbash to use Node on Windows. It's a handy thing to have if you're used to a *nix environment. If you're not, it just gives you something more to learn, which isn't helpful if you're already in the middle of trying to learn Node.
Just:
Get the Windows installer from https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Run the Windows installer
Create a directory for your project
Open a Command Prompt Window to get a command line
Switch to your project directory
(Optional, but a good idea) Use npm init to create a package.json file (it'll walk you through it)
Install any libs you're going to be using via npm (for instance, npm install scribbletune from your command prompt window)
Put your JavaScript files in that directory
Use node main.js at the command line to run your main file (whatever it's called; main.js is just a placeholder)
Inorder to run a js (java script file) file
step 1. u need to go to the file location where u want to run.
step 2. just use "shift +right click".
u will see a pop-up and go to powershell or cmd.
step 3. type "node FILENAME.js"
final step: you will see the result ^.^
Does anyone know how to install GameClosure on Windows? According to the docs, on the installation guide, only osx is supported, although they have some success running on Linux and Windows. Unfortunately they don't expand on how to do this and a Google turns up only one promising looking page which returns a 404 (there is a cached version but it only seems to be a half article).
I have successfully installed the GC DevKit on Windows, there are a few additional steps like creating symbolic links BEFORE trying to install the GC DevKit.
Follow these steps carefully and you shouldn't have a problem getting it up and running. Read through them and try to understand what is required first.
Download the list of required items (Windows builds for Git, Node and Java) from the install guide.
Open up Git Bash (find it on the start menu under Git)
Continue with the install guide by cloning the repo (git clone https://github.com/gameclosure/devkit).
The files would have been installed to %USERPROFILE% if you did not change the directory while in Git Bash.
Move all the files in devkit\SDK somewhere else but make sure they are gone from that directory.
Open a normal command-prompt (cmd.exe).
Create symbolic links for everything that WAS under the devkit\SDK directory using mklink (available in Vista and above) from the command-prompt (not the Git Bash console). The files you moved in step 5 will contain the path as text that the link should be pointed to EG: > mklink /D "%USERPROFILE%\devkit\sdk\squill" "..\lib\squill\"
JSIO is special and actually needs to exist in a sub-directory at the time of writing. Create the directory devkit\SDK\jsio and then create a symbolic link INSIDE that going back one more relative path. EG: > mklink /D "%USERPROFILE%\devkit\sdk\jsio\jsio" "..\..\lib\js.io\packages\"
Go back you your Git Bash console and now continue with the installation for GC DevKit by switching to the devkit directory running the ./install.sh script as described.
Run basil by executing node src/basil [command]
If all the correct pre-requisites were in place everything should go smoothly. If basil throws errors it's more than likely the symbolic links, just check that everything is pointing to the right place and run ./install.sh to try again.
Good luck!!
There is now a full guide to installing Game Closure SDK on Windows here (I have also posted the contents in pastebin here in case the previous link disappears)
It's quite a process to get everything installed and configured, and looks like you can only develop for Android using the windows version of the SDK, but I may be mistaken
I wasn't able to get it installed on windows, but it's easy enough to install on linux, so I ended up using virtualbox and a linux vm. Cygwin could be another option but I didn't try it so unfortunately can't say for definite whether or not it would work
I'm developing an ExtJS app and I'd like to render the view as pdf using Phantom.js. I've downloaded binary package for OSX, after unpacking added a symlink to it as well as added it to the PATH. After running 'phantomjs' in the console I get :
phantomjs script.js
And that's all. When I try running any of the example scripts it crashes saying that require is undefined, I can't check the version and basically it's unusable. I can run the bat file though, and it gives me phantomjs shell. After removing all I've downloaded previously I can still run 'phantomjs' command with the same outcome. Probably because Sencha's SDK have it but it's not visible in the PATH so I'm not sure. Any ideas ?
as always found the problem seconds after submitting question. Sencha's SDK had some custom or broken version of phantomjs.bat, and the whole folder was added to the PATH.
