Manually \n2. Express Application Generator\n\n\n\n# 1. Manually\n\n1.\n\nAssuming you’ve already installed Node.js, create a directory to hold your application, and make that your working directory.\n\n\t$ mkdir myapp\n\t$ cd myapp\n\n2.\n\nUse the npm init command to create a package.json file for your application. For more information on how package.json works, see Specifics of npm’s package.json handling.\n\n\t$ npm init\n\n3. \n\nThis command prompts you for a number of things, such as the name and version of your application. For now, you can simply hit RETURN to accept the defaults for most of them, with the following exception:\n\nentry point: (index.js)\n\n4.\n\nEnter app.js, or whatever you want the name of the main file to be. If you want it to be index.js, hit RETURN to accept the suggested default file name.\n\n5.\n\nNow install Express in the myapp directory and save it in the dependencies list. For example:\n\n\t$ npm install express --save\n\nOR\n\nTo install Express temporarily and not add it to the dependencies list:\n\n\t$ npm install express --no-save\n\n\nBy default with version npm 5.0+ npm install adds the module to the dependencies list in the package.json file; with earlier versions of npm, you must specify the --save option explicitly. Then, afterwards, running npm install in the app directory will automatically install modules in the dependencies list.\nNext: Hello World \n\n\n\n\n# 2. Express Application Generator\n\nUse the application generator tool, express-generator, to quickly create an application skeleton.\n\nYou can run the application generator with the npx command (available in Node.js 8.2.0).\n\n\t$ npx express-generator\n\nFor earlier Node versions, install the application generator as a global npm package and then launch it:\n\n\t$ npm install -g express-generator\n\n\nFor example, the following creates an Express app named myapp. The app will be created in a folder named myapp in the current working directory and the view engine will be set to Pug:\n\n\t$ express --view=pug myapp\n\n\nThen install dependencies:\n\n\t$ cd myapp\n\t$ npm install\n\n\n\nOn MacOS or Linux, run the app with this command:\n\n\t$ DEBUG=myapp:* npm start\n\nOn Windows Command Prompt, use this command:\n\n\tset DEBUG=myapp:* \u0026 npm start\n\n ----------\n--------\nOn Windows PowerShell, use this command:\n\n \t$env:DEBUG='myapp:*'; npm start\n\n\nThen load http://localhost:3000/ in your browser to access the app.\n\nThe generated app has the following directory structure:\n\n\n\t.\n\t├── app.js\n\t├── bin\n\t│   └── www\n\t├── package.json\n\t├── public\n\t│   ├── images\n\t│   ├── javascripts\n\t│   └── stylesheets\n\t│       └── style.css\n\t├── routes\n\t│   ├── index.js\n\t│   └── users.js\n\t└── views\n\t    ├── error.pug\n\t    ├── index.pug\n\t    └── layout.pug\n\n7 directories, 9 files\n\n\n\n\n:+1:\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fastechedu%2Fexpress-js","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fastechedu%2Fexpress-js","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fastechedu%2Fexpress-js/lists"}
