You can execute a javascript code using nodeJS, Provided you are not using any API's that require a browser environment (i.e for example you should not use any DOM manipulating api's in your code).

Steps to follow:
1)Write your code using a simple text editor and save the file with ".js" extension
2)Install nodeJS software
3)open command prompt and execute the command - node filename.js

NodeJS is a javascript runtime built on Chrome's V8 Javascript engine.
