In this Codecademy lesson we look at how to start a server with Express Js. It is important to first make sure you have installed express since Codecademy does not mention that. Once you have installed the package you can then import it (require it) and store it in a constant/variable named express. Next, by creating a const variable named app you can store an instance of express and instantiate your express variable by invoking it. We then can use our app variable to listen on a port we specify.
