Where should I create project folders for node.js?

Question

Where should I create project folders for node.js?

I have Node.js for windows installed the recommended way npm, using the global flag:

npm install -g node-windows

The next step is to run in your project root:

npm link node-windows

Do I create the project folder in the directory where I have node.js installed? (C:\Program Files\nodejs)

My Goal is to use node.js to send push notifications. I believe if I create the project directory(folder) in the correct spot all I have to do put the files I want to execute in the project directory and everything should work OK?

You can create a project folder anywhere. In the commandline you locate your folder:

C:\>cd "Users\Me\Documents\NodeJs\Projects\WebServer\"

Then just run node on any script you wish to startup.

C:\Users\Me\Documents\NodeJs\Projects\WebServer\>node startupscript.js
