ExpressWorks Hello, World

[bessieatrazoyo]

Wow. This is pathetic. I can’t get past the first exercise. Can anybody tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Some info. I am working on a Mac. Below are the commands that I type in the terminal and info on the output. After that is my code.

$ sudo npm install express --save [entered password, much output, nothing in red...I think it went okay] $ killall node No matching processes belonging to you were found $ expressworks run Express.js 35557 Cannot GET /home

Here’s my code Express.js:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
console.log(process.argv[2]);
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
        res.end('Hello World!');
})
app.listen(process.argv[2]);

Try changing your fourth line to get the /home directory:

app.get('/home', function(req, res) {

If you're still having troubles, make sure you install expressworks as follows:

cd to your working directory (e.g. ~/nodeschool/expressworks) $ sudo npm install express $ sudo npm install -g expressworks

Changing from '/' to '/home' did the trick. Thanks, TylerMoeller!

I had to do the same, but I'm on Windows 10.
