Oh, since your question actually received an upvote I will answer it. :-)

As I wrote in comments these links are good to start:

tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxdir.html

tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/shell.html

tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxfiles.html

Or just google for "Linux tutorial", "Linux basics", etc. and read EVERYTHING you'll see.

Now when you will get a bit more familiar with the files structure you should do the following: go to /home/username and create a directory there for your app. Then you just add files in there.

There are several reasons for doing this but the most important is permissions. You don't want to give to much permissions to your app because of the risk of hacker's attack.

Good luck and have fun with Linux and Node.js.
