problem

i have nodejs installed have been creating on off files check out how works. here's happened attempt create application using generator:

admin@devbox:~/documents/nodejs/node_express_tests$ sudo npm install express-generator -g /usr/local/bin/express -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/express-generator/bin/express express-generator@4.13.1 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/express-generator ├── sorted-object@1.0.0 ├── commander@2.7.1 (graceful-readlink@1.0.1) └── mkdirp@0.5.1 (minimist@0.0.8) admin@devbox:~/documents/nodejs/node_express_tests$ express myapp admin@devbox:~/documents/nodejs/node_express_tests$ ls admin@devbox:~/documents/nodejs/node_express_tests$ sudo express myapp admin@devbox:~/documents/nodejs/node_express_tests$ ls admin@devbox:~/documents/nodejs/node_express_tests$ ls -lah total 8.0k drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0k jul 17 08:22 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0k jul 17 08:22 .. 

if understand correctly, should have directory structure includes app.js file various directories. i'm not sure i've done incorrectly. i'm checking logs , checking documentation. suggestions welcome.

thanks.
