📥 Installation & Usage

You don't need to install the package globally.
Just run:

npx create-node-app-starter my-app

Then:

cd my-app

🔐 Environment Setup (.env)

Create a .env file in the root of the generated project (e.g. my-app/.env):

PORT=5000
MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/test

• PORT → the port your Express server will run on (default 5000)
• MONGO_URI → your MongoDB connection string

Finally, start the server:

npm start
