  • Run a JavaScript file:
    node path/to/file
  • Start a REPL (interactive shell):
    node
  • Execute the specified file restarting the process when an imported file is changed (requires Node.js version 18.11+):
    node --watch path/to/file
  • Evaluate JavaScript code by passing it as an argument:
    node -e "code"
  • Evaluate and print the result, useful to print node's dependencies versions:
    node -p "process.versions"
  • Activate inspector, pausing execution until a debugger is connected once source code is fully parsed:
    node --no-lazy --inspect-brk path/to/file
