Write the html5 boilerplate and a text inside the body as following.
Now goto the index.js file.
Here require the http and fs package and wirte the following code.
Now lets run this.
So go to the command prompt and run the command.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=\"en\">
<head>
<meta charset=\"UTF-8\">

Here require the http and fs package and wirte the following code.
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var server = http.createServer(function(req,res)
{
res.writeHead(200,{'Content-Type':'text/html'});
var readStream = fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/index.html');
readStream.pipe(res);
});
server.listen(3000);
console.log(\"server is running on localhost:3000\");
Now lets run this.
So go to the command prompt and run the command.
node index.js
Now its running on localhost:3000 port.
