Getting started with NODE.JS in windows x86

Just getting started with node.js. I've a Windows PC. I went to nodejs.org and downloaded the nodejs.msi for Windows then, I saw a folder in programfilesx86.

How do i write and compile my helloworld program?

I guess, I have to use the command prompt. I even created a file hello.js but i don't know where it goes or how to execute it.

Any inputs on this will be appreciated.

Alternative is to use IDE like Enide Studio http://sf.net/p/nodeclipse/

Instead of typing in command prompt, just right-click any .js file and select Run As -> Node application, see output in console View. All in one windows, no need switch between. Integrated debugger and JSHint.

Go to the command prompt (> Run > cmd), which is the Windows terminal.

There type node -v to see if Node is responding ok (it should display the version installed).

After that navigate to the folder containing your 'hello world' example.

For ex if you hello.js is in C:\ then:

cd C:
node hello.js

That should work.
