# You can run the application generator with the npx command (available in Node.js 8.2.0).
$ npx express-generator
# For earlier Node versions, install the application generator as a global npm package and then launch it:
$ npm install -g express-generator
# For 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:
$ express --view=pug myapp

   create : myapp
   create : myapp/package.json
   create : myapp/app.js
   create : myapp/public
   create : myapp/public/javascripts
   create : myapp/public/images
   create : myapp/routes
   create : myapp/routes/index.js
   create : myapp/routes/users.js
   create : myapp/public/stylesheets
   create : myapp/public/stylesheets/style.css
   create : myapp/views
   create : myapp/views/index.pug
   create : myapp/views/layout.pug
   create : myapp/views/error.pug
   create : myapp/bin
   create : myapp/bin/www
# Then install dependencies:
$ cd myapp
npm install
# On MacOS or Linux, run the app with this command:
$ DEBUG=myapp:* npm start
# On Windows Command Prompt, use this command:
$ set DEBUG=myapp:* & npm start
# On Windows PowerShell, use this command:
$env:DEBUG='myapp:*'; npm start

How to use express generator

# Scaffold an app with Express application generator

# Install express-generator globally by typing the following 
# into a bash terminal (from any directory). 
# open a bash terminal and install globally by typing:  
$ npm install -g [email protected]

# Prepend the command with sudo if you are using MacOS or Linux.
$ sudo npm install -g express-generator

# Note: You may need to close your bash terminal and start a 
# new session before you can use the express command after this installation.
# First create a main folder for your server 

$ mkdir MyNameFolder 
# enter the folder
$ cd MyNameFolder

# Scaffold out an Express application 
# Here we create a server folder of your own name 
# myservernameServer

# To scaffold out an Express application, 
# type the following at the prompt: 
# view generator now pug as jade is now pug  

$ express --view=pug mysitenameServer 

# NOTE: If the "express" command does not work for you even after 
# you have installed express-generator globally, you can use command

$ npx [email protected] mysitenameServer

# move into the mysitenameServer folder - type: 

$ cd mysitenameServer

# type the following at terminal prompt to install all Node dependencies:

$ npm install 

# RUNNING APP 
# MacOS or Linux

$ DEBUG=mysitenameServer:* npm start

# On Windows prompt

$ set DEBUG=mysitenameServer:* & npm start

# Windows PowerShell

$ env:DEBUG='mysitenameServer:*'; npm start

# Then load http://localhost:3000/ in your browser to access the app.
# The generated app has the following directory structure:
.
