To create a new express app with (creation of express apps with IntelliJ currently seems not to work properly) ejs use

express --ejs name_of_your_project
cd name_of_your_project && npm install

To give you a basic overview: In your Express project, the bin/www file starts everything up. The app.js file is where everything app related happens. in the “views” folder you can find your html pages (which are ejs now) and in your “routes” folder you can put the logic for each page (e.g. index.js for the index page). And last but not least, you can add publicly available resources to the “public” folder. To include a new page, add the .ejs file to views, include it in app.js and add a .js file for that page to the roots directory. See my repo for an example.
