Run a node.js server?

How would I go about setting up a node.js server? I have one that works on replit.com but I want something a little more private.

No, you cannot run a node.js server on PythonAnywhere.

Will someday be possible to install node.js in pythonanywhere?

You can install node.js (so that you can run stuff in consoles, for example compiling React components) -- but you can't run a node server. If it's the former that you're interested in, check out this help page.

Thanks for your help. It is just what I was looking for. Run JS in the terminal.
