When you create create the app with the installer it automatically create:

• /home/%USER%/%DOMAIN%/private/nodeapp directory
• Config for nginx to use the selected port
• ecosystem.config.js with the necessary command to connect pm2 and run your app Ex. npm run start
• .nvmrc file with node version if you use NVM
