Creating the baseline application

We will use the same version of the express-generator that we used in Chapter 4, Don't Take a Photograph, Make it - An App for Photographers. This time, we do not need any additional modules to complete our task:

Create a folder called chapter05.
Open your terminal/shell within the chapter05 folder and type the following command:
```
      yo express
```
Tip
Note that we already installed the generator-express in chapter 04, Don't Take a Photograph, Make it - An App for Photographers.
Now, fill in the questions in this order:

- Choose Swig: for the template engine
- Choose None: for the CSS preprocessor
- Choose MongoDb: for the database
- Choose Gulp: for LiveReload ...
