To use Console in your programs you should make local install:

npm i console-io express

And use it in your program

// server.js

const webconsole  = require('console-io');
const http = require('http');
const express = require('express');

const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);

const port = 1337;
const ip = '0.0.0.0';

const online = true;
app .use(webconsole({
    server,
    online, // load jquery and socket.io from cdn
})).use(express.static(__dirname));

webconsole.listen({
    server,
});

server.listen(port, ip);

<!-- index.html -->

<div class="console"></div>
<script src="/console/console.js"></script>
<script>
    document.addEventListener('load', async () => {
        const konsole = await Console('.console', {
            prefix: 'console',
            env: {
                CURRENT_FILE: getCurrentFile(),

        console.log('console ready')
        konsole.focus();
        
        function getCurrentFile() {
