Following the steps I performed for creating the project, after being installed node.js and npm (see [How to run it](wiki/How to run it) for details on how to install them):
Installing express
I wanted to install express globally, for doing that:
$ sudo npm install -g express
Notes:
- If you want to install an specific version (in my case I have 3.0.0beta7) you can use name@version, e.g.
$ sudo npm install -g express@3.0.0beta7
- If you don't want a global version of express, you can remove
-g
option. Packages "not global" are installed intonode_modules
folder.
Creating the application skeleton
The application skeleton was created with express, specifying 2 "not standard" options:
- EJS. As view engine. I prefer it a lot compared with Jade, which is the default for express, because I'm more familiar with HTML, and really don't think jade's way to implement web pages is realistic and maintainable.
- Session. Just enabled the use of sessions within express' application.
Following the command used:
$ express --sessions --ejs
