On GitHub, create a new repo, making sure to mark it as public and to select Node as the choice for the gitignore dropdown menu.

$[3]$ Clone that repo to your Linux VM$.$ Inside of that client repo copy, do a

npx express$-$generator $--$no$-$view PickProjectName

then

npm install

$[4]$ push those changes back up to the repo

$[5]$ In a folder on your Linux VM$,$ build $($or evolve$)$ a JQM app to match your plan for the final project. This does not require any JavaScript, just use HTML to have all the pages that your app will use, with enough HTML on each page to make it clear what that page does. Each page must have a header $/$ content $/$ footer section and there must be NavBars as appropriate to move among the pages. The pages don't have to "work".

$[6]$ copy your html file $($an any css$,$ images, and JavaScript files if you have them$)$ into the public folder of your new node.js project

$[7]$ Do an npm start, open browser to localhost:$3000$ and verify you can see your app and move between pages.

$[8]$ Push all those changes back up to GitHub and submit a link to the source code.
