Should you use TypeScript on node / express
imho: yes, you should. You have the same advantages on the server as on the client: Type checking (of course ;)) Autocomplete Fewer assertions (no need to check if the param your function received is a number) Fewer tests (you don't have to test what your function will do if it gets a string instead of a number) More confidence that your code does what you intended it to do And if you know typescript from react, the biggest disadvantage is already gone: learning TS In addition you can share types across server and client which is pretty nice :D I think many companies require TS because of the mentioned advantages. Most of the times big companies have used typed languages before (Java, C#, etc.) and are therefore used to it. Edit: replaced less with fewer More on reddit.com

As I said in my comment, ExpressJS it's a framework for developing servers. It's not a server by itself.
You should create a npm project (with npm init) and you can install it as a dependency with npm install express --save. Then refer to the "Hello World" example to see how to create a simple server: Hello World Starter
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.send('Hello World!');
});
app.listen(3000, function () {
console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!');
});
Also, you may want to serve static files by using
app.use(express.static('name_of_the_directory'));
