In the video we are directed to go into the bin folder. When I try and setup a project outside of workspaces I do not have this folder. Where is it located or how do I get it?

It's created by ExpressJS, but you need to install the Express Generator:
$ npm install -g express-generator
Then:
$ express -f
Make sure you run this at the very beginning of the project, otherwise the Express will overwrite you app.js, package.json files

Treehouse Guest TeacherHi Torre,
The bin folder is created along with other files and folders when express-generator creates a bare-bones express app. You can watch this video if you want to learn more about express-generator, which can be a great productivity-booster.
Hope that helps!
