1,011 Pointsthanks @Adam Beer for the quick answer. Why when I write "normal" JS I can run it directly from the browser and why in this case I have to run it from the server (using node from the terminal)? thanks!

11,314 PointsNode.js is running in the background, easiest to get from the terminal to reach. If you use native node or express and give a port you also have access to the browser. But the simplest way is to test it from the terminal.
