   By default, a script file which starts a webserver is configured for 'ScriptFilePath' at $FioranoHomeInstaller\esb\samples\nodejs\httpserver. The path can be changed by editing the ScriptFilePath property and the script file can be customized if required by accessing the file from the saved location.

   3. mac: .dylib
7. Delete the extracted folder.
