Seeking help Running Express.js Npm package for Exploration

#webdev #javascript #opensource #backend

Hey folks,

Hope you're all doing great! Lately, I am using Express.js 2 year long, and I'm finding it super cool. However, as someone who's never contributed to a project before, I'm feeling a bit lost about how to run it locally just for some exploration fun.

I've noticed there's this file called index.js in the Express.js repository. Can anyone lend a hand on how I can fire up this project? I'm particularly keen on testing out stuff like the Express.js router.

Usually, in our own projects, we just install stuff and import them, but Express.js seems a bit different. Do I need to create a separate file and import from this index file?

Would really appreciate any tips or guidance you folks could offer. Thanks a bunch for your time and help!

Thanks
