Node.JS my first nodejs code

[Tsalong]

Hi!
this is my first time using Nodejs. Have been following someone's tutorial step by step

const sayHi = (name) => {
    console.log('Hello there ${name}')
}

with this example 'Hello there $(name)' is like a string and '$(name)' doesn't change color to blue and the output doesn't give variable name
Please help
I have 3 modules
1. app.js

const names = require('./4-names')
const sayHi = require('./5-utils')
console.log(names)
sayHi(names.lebitso)
sayHi(names.surname)
sayHi(names.otherName)

2. 4-names.js

//local
const secret = "SUPER SECRET"
//declaration of share variable
const lebitso = 'Tsepo'
const surname = "Tsálong"
const otherName = "Mohau"

module.exports = { lebitso, otherName, surname}

3. 5-util.js

const sayHi = (name) => {
    console.log('Hello there ${name}')
}
module.exports = sayHi

Hi there.
What you're trying to do is use a template literal or string. This has to be done using backticks (`) instead of the regular quotes (' or ").

Thank you very much. It works perfectly
