I just started learning Node js, First I installed node,npm, express

I want to work in npm, but I don't know how to start. The command I gave in terminal was

 sh-4.2$ cd new/
 sh-4.2$ express new-project
 sh-4.2$ cd new/
 sh-4.2$ express new-project
 sh-4.2$ node app

But I was not able to connect in localhost:3000

Try this command in your project folder after you've generated the project:

node bin/www

The code to run the server is placed in this file.

I dislike automatic project generators so here is how to create a new express project manually.

Create new folder:

mkdir myNewApp
cd myNewApp

Create a new package.json (makes managing dependencies much easier) - just press enter to all questions, you can change these things later:

npm init

Install express and save it in our package.json:

npm install express --save

Create our main server file:

touch server.js

And paste the following:

var express = require('express'),
    server  = express();

server.get('/', function (req, res) {
    res.send('hello world');
});

server.listen(3000);

Now start it:

node server.js

And visit http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
