This is a simple Node.js HTTP server that responds with "Hello World!" to incoming requests.

Note: This code is an example taken from nodejs.org.

1. Clone the repository or download the source code.

2. Install Node.js if you haven't already. You can download it from here.

3. Navigate to the project directory in your terminal.

4. Install dependencies by running the following command:

   npm install
   

To start the server, run the following command in your terminal:

Once the server is running, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000. You should see a "Hello World!" message displayed in plain text.

The server.js file contains the code for the HTTP server. Here's a breakdown of the code:

• Importing necessary modules:

  • The createServer function is imported from the Node.js http module.

• Creating an HTTP server:

  • An HTTP server is created using the createServer function.
  • The server responds to incoming requests with a "Hello World!" message.

• Starting the server:

  • The server is started and made to listen on port 3000 of the localhost (127.0.0.1).
  • A message is logged to the console indicating that the server is listening.
