第2章-使用Express.js4创建Node.js的Web应用程序-2.2.Express.js的安装

Express.js的包有两种形式：

1.express-generator：一个提供在命令行中快速搭建应用的全局NPM包
2.express：一个在Node.js应用中的node_modules文件夹里的本地模块包

检查版本：$express -V

安装：$npm install -g express-generator@4.13.0

卸载：$sudo npm uninstall -g express-generator
或者$sudo npm uninstall -g express

在4.x版本前，Express.js生成器是Express.js自身模块的一部分

Mac OS X和Linux系统安装Express.js的全局模块的默认路径
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/express-generator

二、本地Express.js

进入到要安装的目录
手动或者命令$npm init创建package.json

然后通过NPM安装模块：

$npm install express@4.13.0 --save

或者不指定版本

$npm install express

或者在package.json中直接指定依赖（”express”:”4.1.2”或者”express”:”4.x”）,并执行$npm install

package.json文件

{
  "name": "aml",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "auth_server.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "git+https://github.com/client-zy/aml.git"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "bugs": {
    "url": "https://github.com/client-zy/aml/issues"
  },
  "homepage": "https://github.com/client-zy/aml#readme",
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "^4.1.2"
  }
}

执行$npm ls命令来对Express.js的安装情况和他的依赖进行复查
