dnf install nodejs
To use, put some javaScript code in a file (eg myfile.js) and run:
node myfile.js
I find this very handy. You can check the syntax of code that you might use on a website. There used to be package called just "js" which was Mozilla SpiderMonkey but its not an available package any more. You can still build it from source.
