i made folder , wrote following code , have checked working.

var express = require('express'); var app = express();  app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));  app.get('/', function(req, res) {     res.sendfile(__dirname + '/public/indexz.html'); });  app.listen(1339); console.log('open link http://localhost:1337'); 

steps

1 copy code given above in new folder , name whatever want, name file server.js

2 go cmd , propagate location of code , npm install express

3 type node server on console

4 open link there on console.

note : make sure there folder name public , there file named indexz.html in there.

regarding proper client side files arrangement

you have keep files in public folder, first of , attach them accordingly in html document.

example

<!-- owl carousel assets --> <link href="css/owl.carousel.css" rel="stylesheet"> <link href="css/owl.theme.css" rel="stylesheet"> <script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="angular.js"></script> <script src="controller.js"></script> 

and within public folder you'll have folders named js , css , in root of public folder html files.
