Attempting to create an Express application on the command line

I have Ubuntu 13.10 and I installed Node.js using:

sudo apt-get install nodejs

Then I installed Express using:

sudo npm install -g express

I had to use sudo for express installation because I had errors when I tried to do this without.

The problem is that when I try to create an express application or even a type express -von the command line, nothing happens ie:

kwal0203@Kanes-laptop:~$ express -v

kwal0203@Kanes-laptop:~$

I see that the express files were installed in the directory usr/local/lib/node_modules/express, as well as the file with the name expressin the directory usr/local/bin/, which I assume is some kind of shortcut or link, or something like that.

Any ideas on why the express is not working?

Thanks, thanks for the help!
