-# Usage and example
-
-<!--introduced_in=v0.10.0-->
-
-<!--type=misc-->
-
-## Usage
-
-`node [options] [V8 options] [script.js | -e "script" | - ] [arguments]`
-
-Please see the [Command-line options][] document for more information.
-
-## Example
-
-An example of a [web server][] written with Node.js which responds with
-`'Hello, World!'`:
-
-First, make sure to have downloaded and installed Node.js. See
-[Installing Node.js][] for further install information.
-
-Now, create an empty project folder called `projects`, then navigate into it.
-
-Linux and Mac:
-
-```bash
-mkdir ~/projects
-cd ~/projects
-```
-
-Windows CMD:
-
-```powershell
-mkdir %USERPROFILE%\projects
-cd %USERPROFILE%\projects
-```
-
-Windows PowerShell:
-
-```powershell
-mkdir $env:USERPROFILE\projects
-cd $env:USERPROFILE\projects
-```
-
-Next, create a new source file in the `projects`
-folder and call it `hello-world.js`.
-
-Open `hello-world.js` in any preferred text editor and
-paste in the following content:
-
-```js
-const http = require('node:http');
-
-const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
-const port = 3000;
-
-const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
-  res.statusCode = 200;
-  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
-  res.end('Hello, World!\n');
-});
-
-server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
-  console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
-});
-```
-
-Save the file. Then, in the terminal window, to run the `hello-world.js` file,
-enter:
-
-```bash
-node hello-world.js
-```
-
-Output like this should appear in the terminal:
-
-```console
-Server running at http://127.0.0.1:3000/
-```
-
-Now, open any preferred web browser and visit `http://127.0.0.1:3000`.
-
-If the browser displays the string `Hello, World!`, that indicates
-the server is working.
