Woah, this guy is different from the rest. |
Lmaooo. We need a AI based PR rejection watchdog for this repository. It is officially that bad now. |
It would be grateful if you could kindly explain why you perceive this as unfavorable. |
See brother, this is a official Github repository of the Express JS used by thousands of people worldwide. The README.md for this repository holds significant value to understand the installation instructions.

Thank you for your time. I thought it might be helpful for new developers to learn about these early on, so they can explore a wider range of development paths from the beginning. Also, I wasn’t aware of any kind of “army” activity you mentioned, but I do understand what you’re referring to now. I truly appreciate your clarification and feedback. |
Oh, so it's literally just the same, just from a different commander. |
Summary
This pull request improves the Installation section of the Express.js README by adding more installation options and helpful guidance for developers using alternative package managers.
Changes Made
Added installation commands for Yarn, pnpm, and Bun to support developers using different ecosystems.
Included a “Verifying Installation” section to help users confirm that Express is correctly installed.
Added a “Updating Express” note to guide users on keeping their dependencies current.
Updated formatting for readability and consistency with the existing documentation style.
Why These Changes Are Important
Many developers today prefer Yarn, pnpm, or Bun instead of npm — adding these options makes the documentation more inclusive and developer-friendly.
The new verification and update steps reduce common setup issues and enhance the getting-started experience for beginners.
Improves the completeness and clarity of Express documentation for the global developer community.
Testing
Verified each installation command locally on Node.js v20+ to ensure compatibility and successful installation across package managers.
