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.</p> <p>I've noticed there's this file called <code>index.js</code> 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.</p> <p>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?</p> <p>Would really appreciate any tips or guidance you folks could offer. Thanks a bunch for your time and help!</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p><a href="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fbhtwdzc3tctz0mjqi0s8.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fbhtwdzc3tctz0mjqi0s8.png" alt="My way" width="800" height="786"></a></p> webdev javascript opensource backend
