working with node.js locally

Hey,

Just completed the node.js basics course, it was fun.

Just wondering where I would need to save the folder on my local machine so that if i type 

node app ...

into my command line it will run the code in app.js.

I use gulp so I have node installed locally.

You can save your files wherever you wish. I have a folder on my computer for development work and name folders inside of that based on my project. Go into your root project folder and run your command to start your node server locally.
