2$ npx express-generator
3# For earlier Node versions, install the application generator as a global npm package and then launch it:
4$ npm install -g express-generator
5# 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:
6$ express --view=pug myapp

8   create : myapp
9   create : myapp/package.json
10   create : myapp/app.js
11   create : myapp/public

21   create : myapp/views/layout.pug
22   create : myapp/views/error.pug
23   create : myapp/bin
24   create : myapp/bin/www
25# Then install dependencies:
26$ cd myapp
27npm install
28# On MacOS or Linux, run the app with this command:
29$ DEBUG=myapp:* npm start
30# On Windows Command Prompt, use this command:
31$ set DEBUG=myapp:* & npm start
