First, you should install the generator: `$ npm install plop-node-express`.

```

In the terminal, type: `$ plop`, this will be execute the generator.

Before start to develop, remember to install all the dependencies: `$ npm install`.

## Provided generator
The generator provides a fresh starting point for Node + Express project:

- [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/) as a package manager and a task runner.
- [Babel](https://babeljs.io/) as a transpiler. **I use to work in ES6**.
- [ESLint](http://eslint.org/) as a linter.
