# How do I get the path to the current script with Node.js?

In Node.js, you can use the `__filename` variable to get the absolute path to the current script file, and `__dirname` to get the absolute path to the directory containing the current script. Here's an example:

```jsx
console.log('__filename:', __filename);
console.log('__dirname:', __dirname);
```

When you run this script, it will print the absolute path to the current script file and the directory containing the script.

Keep in mind that `__filename` returns the absolute path to the current module (script), and `__dirname` returns the absolute path to the directory containing the current module.

For example, if your script is located at `/path/to/your/script.js`, running the above code would output something like:

```
__filename: /path/to/your/script.js
__dirname: /path/to/your
```

These variables are particularly useful when you need to construct paths relative to the location of your script or when working with file I/O operations.
