working with Terminal and setting

hello, I don't want to work with workspace and want to have experience with my Terminal. and if I want to log the console.log message on the console, what should I do? before this, I could download project files and copy the path from html file and could execute the project on the browser. now there is only js file in the project file and I got confused that how js file and console and terminal can work together. please give me tips!

Open a terminal (cmd/powershell in windows) and navigate to (using the 'cd' command) the folder where your file is in.

once you are in the correct directory/folder type node filename.js to run it.
