NODE.JS(1)

NAME
node - Server-side JavaScript

SYNOPSIS
node [ -v ] [ --debug | --debug-brk ] [ --v8-options ]
     [ -e command | script.js ] [ arguments ] Execute without arguments to start the REPL.

DESCRIPTION
Node.js is a set of libraries for JavaScript which allows it to be used outside of the browser. It is primarily focused on creating simple, easy to build network clients and servers.

OPTIONS
  -v, --version print node's version
  -e, --eval script evaluate script
  -p, --print print result of --eval
  -c, --check syntax check script without executing
  -i, --interactive always enter the REPL even if stdin
                        does not appear to be a terminal
  -r, --require module to preload at startup
  --no-deprecation silence deprecation warnings
  --trace-deprecation show stack traces on deprecations
  --throw-deprecation throw errors on deprecations
  --track-heap-objects track heap object allocations for heap snapshots
  --prof-process process v8 profiler output generated using --prof
  --v8-options print v8 command line options
  --tls-cipher-list=list use an alternative default TLS cipher list
                        (available only when Node.js is built with
                        OpenSSL and crypto support enabled)

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

NODE_PATH
    ':'-separated list of directories prefixed to the module search path.

NODE_DISABLE_COLORS
    If set to 1 then colors will not be used in the REPL.

NODE_ICU_DATA
    Data path for ICU (Intl object) data. Will extend linked-in data when compiled with small-icu support.

NODE_REPL_HISTORY
    Path to the file used to store the persistent REPL history. The default path is ~/.node_repl_history, which is overridden by this variable. Setting the value to an empty string ("") disables persistent REPL history.
