Hi all! Hoping you'll be able to help...
I'm following Andrew's instructions, using the VSCode terminal and successfully (I think) created a directory, accessed the directory and installed express.
When it gets to the point of creating the app.js file with the code 'code app.js' I receive a response in the terminal saying 'bash: code: command not found'
It would be appreciated if anyone who has encountered this and would be happy to share a solution!

code app.js
The above command will create a file in the path where your terminal is open. For using the vscode command code you need to install code command in path. Just press cmd+shift+p in vs code and type "shell command" and hit enter on install code in PATH.
I hope it helps.

I did some further googling and attempted node app.js instead of code. This returns a new error, saying 'Cannot find module '/Users/tristandauvergne/flashcards/app.js''
