Sorry, partial answer here, in "bad" English.
But you cannot do:
require('express');
only having installed global Express. You must install express as local
module in your current app.
You must run
npm install express
in your project top folder (where the server.js resides).
Or you add express as dependency in your package.json, and run
npm install
It is a nuance that global and local modules are different, in general. But
it has a justification: global installation module are for install and use
global commands, as:
express create ....
(Sorry, I don't remember now the exact form, check express site)
And
require('express')
DOES NOT look for a global express.
C'est la vie ;-)
