const express = require('express'); const app = express();
app.set('view engine', 'pug');
app.get('/', (req, res) => { res.render('index') });
app.listen(5500, () => { console.log('Its up and running') });

my error was that my 'views' folder was misplaced. It should be in the same directory as node modules, i.e. on the same level. Hope you worked it out, but I am leaving my comment here in case anybody else makes the same mistake as me:) Happy coding and debugging!

From what you have provided, everything seems to be correct so here is a few things for you to double check:
- You have both express and pug installed as dependencies
- You are running the express server and accessing through the port 5500
- You are indenting correctly in your pug template
- There are no errors in your browser console and/or node console
- you have put your index.pug file in the "views" directory, with the correct spelling
Hope this helps!
