Step One

The first step when you want to use Express Js is:

Open the website Express.js

Then open to Terminal

typing:

npm install express --save

To run it, namely by:

node .\app.js

And to use a server that automatically restarts every time there is a change, you need to install Nodemon

how to type:

npm install -g nodemon

The -g function is a global server, so you can access it anywhere

Then to run the server, type:

nodemon.cmd .\app.js

But don't forget that even though using nodemon we have to refresh the browser

To use an ejs template please open this link EJS

How to install it:

npm install ejs

And what next?
