Step - 1

• First create an empty folder where you will create your server.

• Now open it in VScode or any other editor in which you feel comfortable.

• Create an index.js file in the folder.

Step - 2

• Now open terminal shortcut key for [ Ctrl+Shift+' ].

• Now run the command [ npm install express ]. This is like you are saying to Node Package Manager to install express for me.

Step - 3

• After completing the above steps you should write atleast these three lines of code in your index.js file.

• By now your index.js file and your express file structure should look like this.

• app.listen(3000); means that your http server is listening on a specific port which here is (3000).

• By now you can say that technically you have created a http server.
