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

23 ### Installation
24
25 ```bash
26 $ npm install express
27 ```
28
29 ## Quick Start
30
31 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:
32
33 Install the executable. The executable's major version will match Express's:
34
35 ```bash
36 $ npm install -g express-generator@4
37 ```
38
39 Create the app:
40
41 ```bash
42 $ express /tmp/foo && cd /tmp/foo
43 ```
44
45 Install dependencies:
46
47 ```bash
48 $ npm install
49 ```
50
51 Start the server:
52
53 ```bash
54 $ npm start
55 ```
56
57 ## Features
58
59 * Robust routing
60 * HTTP helpers (redirection, caching, etc)
61 * View system supporting 14+ template engines
62 * Content negotiation
63 * Focus on high performance
64 * Executable for generating applications quickly
65 * High test coverage
66
67 ## Philosophy
68
69 The Express philosophy is to provide small, robust tooling for HTTP servers, making
70 it a great solution for single page applications, web sites, hybrids, or public
71 HTTP APIs.
72
73 Express does not force you to use any specific ORM or template engine. With support for over
74 14 template engines via [Consolidate.js](https://github.com/visionmedia/consolidate.js),
75 you can quickly craft your perfect framework.
