node:application:run

This command runs a Node.js project by executing the entry file specified in the project.
$ node ${entry-file}
try on your machine

The command node ${entry-file} is used to run a JavaScript file using the Node.js runtime environment. Here's an explanation of each element of the command:

  • node: This is the command-line tool for executing JavaScript code outside of a web browser. It allows you to run JavaScript files on your local machine.
  • ${entry-file}: This is a placeholder representing the name or path of the JavaScript file you want to run. It should be replaced with the actual file name or path.

For example, if you have a file called index.js in the current directory and want to run it using Node.js, you would use the command node index.js. Note that if the file is located in a different directory, you would need to provide the full or relative path to the file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
