I get this in return:<

Answer 1

The solution is:

1 - chown to your user the .npm folder :

sudo chown -R Webmaste /Users/webmaste/.npm/

2 - At your test folder or your folder:

sudo npm install -g express@2.5.8

3 - Invoke express from your actual location:

/usr/local/share/npm/bin/express

4 -

sudo cd . && npm install

5 - finally:

node app

---

the final message in the console should look like this:

Express server listening on port 3000 in development mode
