  47 **PROTIP** Be sure to read [Migrating from 3.x to 4.x](https://github.com/strongloop/express/wiki/Migrating-from-3.x-to-4.x) as well as [New features in 4.x](https://github.com/strongloop/express/wiki/New-features-in-4.x).

  49 ## Quick Start
  50
  51   The quickest way to get started with express is to utilize the executable [`express(1)`](https://github.com/expressjs/generator) to generate an application as shown below:
  52
  53   Install the executable. The executable's major version will match Express's:
  54
  55 ```bash
  56 $ npm install -g express-generator@4
  57 ```
  58
  59   Create the app:
  60
  61 ```bash
  62 $ express /tmp/foo && cd /tmp/foo
  63 ```
  64
  65   Install dependencies:
  66
  67 ```bash
  68 $ npm install
  69 ```
  70
  71   Start the server:
  72
  73 ```bash
  74 $ npm start
  75 ```
  76
  77 ## Philosophy
  78
  79   The Express philosophy is to provide small, robust tooling for HTTP servers, making
  80   it a great solution for single page applications, web sites, hybrids, or public
  81   HTTP APIs.
  82
  83   Express does not force you to use any specific ORM or template engine. With support for over
  84   14 template engines via [Consolidate.js](https://github.com/tj/consolidate.js),
  85   you can quickly craft your perfect framework.
  86
  87 ## Examples
  88
  89   To view the examples, clone the Express repo and install the dependancies:
  90
  91 ```bash
  92 $ git clone git://github.com/strongloop/express.git --depth 1
  93 $ cd express
  94 $ npm install
  95 ```
  96
  97   Then run whichever example you want:
  98
  99 ```bash
 100 $ node examples/content-negotiation
 101 ```
 102
 103 ## Tests
 104
 105   To run the test suite, first install the dependancies, then run `npm test`:
 106
 107 ```bash
 108 $ npm install
 109 $ npm test
 110 ```
