$ 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
