How to run a program in background?

I have a node.js application. I want to run it in the background without keeping the terminal always open.

How can I achieve this?

You can use either PM2 process manager (https://www.npmjs.com/package/pm2)

Or simply you can use nohup as

nohup node index.js &

This will run the node process in detached form in the background
