Use npm:
npm install utml
Setting up your express app
// no need to require utml, express will do that for us
var app = require('express').createServer();
// set utml as the view engine
app.set('view engine', 'utml');
app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.render('index', {
locals : {
pageTitle : "Hello Node.js + Express + UTML!!",
msg : "Insert snarky message here."
}
});
});
// start listening on the specified port
app.listen(8000);
