Download a javascript engine that can be run from the command line like v8 or spidermonkey. This should do you: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/introduction_to_the_javascript_shell https://developer.mozilla.org/en/introduction_to_the_javascr... Edit: Spidermonkey and v8 are packaged up for pretty much any linux distro. Once installed the command to run spidermonkey is `js`, and `d8` for v8. Just add the name of the JS file you wish to run as the first argument.

Apparently not on my reasonably recent version of Ubuntu. I'll look at installing them. Thanks.

  Downloading the source from github and compiling is easy enough. Either way, good luck and have fun!

    This also works: colin@Rrrr:~$ js The program 'js' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install rhino colin@Rrrr:~$ sudo apt-get install rhino (waits 10 seconds) Done. Thanks again.
