Getting throw error from running pug

I have been trying to figure this out for a while and I have even reset the course still don't understand.

app.js:

const express = require('express');

const app = express();

app.set('view engine', 'pug');

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    res.render('index');
});

app.get('/morememe', (req, res) => {
    res.send("<h1>Hehe boi</h1>")
})
app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('The application is running on localhost:3000')
});

index.pug:

doctype html
html(lang="en")
  head
    title Speech to hippie
  body
    h1 Sup hippies, I got somethin to say.

Hey there Ava Jones ! :wave:

It's a bit hard to tell from just looking at the code, as it indeed looks fine.

What is the error saying? Where are your pug files located within your project? Did you install the needed dependencies?

If you continue struggling with this, if this is in a Workspace you can create a snapshot and drop your link here, or if you can upload your code to a github repo that would be helpful as well.

I hope you get it figured out!
