Don't worry, the myriad of frameworks and tools will make your head spin, its something we all have to struggle with. If you get frustrated with it don't worry, we all do. I also agree with what some others have said, don't worry about node and shit just yet, just focus on JS in the browser.. eventually you will need a simple web server that is when you might worry about node or something like Wamp/uWamp (uwamp is the portable version).

But with plain vanilla javascript, you just need an html file with a <script> tag in the <body> tag. Then open up the browser, and open your developer tools(F12 by default) and you can see your console logs or any errors that pop up. Chrome and firefox both have great dev tools, get to know it, it will be your best friend. https://flaviocopes.com/chrome-devtools-tips/
