since express 4.0 the CLI tools are not part of the main express package anymore. if you want to have the generator you have to install it separately:

    npm install -g express-generator

If you want to run the :

express appname

command, you should install express the following way :

sudo npm install -g express

or just:

npm install -g express

if you are not on a UNIX system. Otherwise if you already did an :

npm install express

you can run this command:

./node_modules/express/bin/express appname

from your project's root directory.
