Use this code in your app.js file. Set ejs view engine in app.js

   var express = require('express');
   var app = express();

   // set the view engine to ejs
    app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
    app.set("views", "views/")

Then use get request for your landing page in your app.js file

    app.get('/', function(req, res) {
       res.render('views/landing');
     });
