NodeJS express unresolved function or method get()

I'm trying to use express with Pug (Jade) to render/display a page and the function get() is coming back undefined with warnings...

I've run: 

npm install express --save

npm install pug --save

Heres the top of the JS file with undefined get method...

var app = require('express')();
app.set('view engine', 'pug');

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
      console.log("test");  //line isn't reached
      res.render('index', { title: 'Hey', message: 'Hello there!' })
  });

No errors when running, it just doesn't work.

You need to start the express server by 

app.listen(9000, function(){
console.log('Server started...');
});

Add this line to the bottom of your JS file. Then open your browser and hit the url:

localhost:9000

Only then will the GET method call be invoked by express.
