How to run node.js file without typing "node abc.js" in command line in Windows in VSCode?

I'm trying to run this script in vscode :-

#!"C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe"

console.log("Hello world");

And in command line I enter :-

./abc.js

Each time I run this, the cursor goes to the end of script. Whereas, I'm trying to see "Hello World" on command line. Is something wrong with the shebang line.

Also, Ques.2 Is it possible to run the script without the filename also. For e.g. in the following code :-

#!"C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe"

function hello(){
  console.log("Hello World");
}

In command Line I would simply enter this :-

hello

  1. npm init your project. this will create package.json file in your working project folder.

  2. Open package.json file, under scripts section write a script: Mine looks like this:

"scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "local": "nodemon server.js"
  }

when I run npm local in command line, it will run server.js file. P.S. nodemon is a node.js framework. either you need to install it (npm install nodemon -g) or use node server.js command instead.
