What is the file node.exe for?

node.exe is full Node.JS executable, containing everything you need to run Node.JS applications on Windows.

You used the default installer, so it got installed to C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe. But you can also download it separately (Windows Binary option), and, for example, bundle it with your application package to simplify the installation on many machines.

There’s no real need to use “Node.js command prompt” shortcut. You can launch Node.JS apps from regular Windows command line terminal, providing full path to node.exe executable (wherever it is actually located). An example:

C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe app.js
