The lecture gives a brief overview of what Nodejs is.

Then you get introduced to the Express library.

After that, you learn how to generate an NPM project with the creation of a package dot json file.

The lecture shows you how to install the express package from the Node Package Manager (NPM) registry.

You learn that third-party packages are installed in a directory called node_modules. Dependencies are specified in the manifest file called package followed by the extension json.

Somebody has a question about NPM not being recognized. Make sure to install Node from the website nodejs dot org. It usually comes bundled with the NPM command as well.

Somebody else asks how to verify the library express was actually installed.
