-== Setting up a simple Node.js Server ==
-You can try Node.js by using your [[meta_port_allocation|Port Allocation]] on the [[metaarray|The MetaArray]] to run your own Node.js server. What follows is a bare-bones 'Hello, World' exmaple tailored for the metaarray:
-  - go to a project folder in your user folder, say <tt>~/projects/nodejstest</tt>
-  - use your favorite editor to open a new file called ''app.js''
-    *paste the following code into the file: <code>const http = require('http');
-     //const hostname = '*put your mkhomepg-selected meta-array domain name here, remove the // at the beginning and delete next line*';
-     const hostname = 'peteyboy.freeshell.org';
-     //const port = *replace this with your UID as port number, uncomment and delete the line below*;
-     const port = 32056;
-     const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
-     res.statusCode = 200;
-     res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
-     res.end('Hello World, this is node');
-     });
-      server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
-        console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
-        });</code>
-  - run the server with ''node app.js'' (the ampersand backgrounds the job so you can type other commands at shell)
-  - check it out with a browser pointed to your metaarray website but at your UID port, for example ''http://me.sdf.org:30099''
-    * it should look like {{:screen_shot_hello_node.png?400|browser showing hello, world!}}
-  - quit the server with ''ctl-c''
