To run a JavaScript file locally (using node):

$ cd PATH_TO_PROJECT_FOLDER
$ node FILE_NAME

If you're trying to run a project which contains a npm run dev script to start up a server:

$ cd PATH_TO_PROJECT_FOLDER
$ npm install
$ npm run dev

You need to do npm init to create a package.json for your directory
