  1. Now, change import to lowercase express and change instantiation to remove new.

    Chris Dias (@chrisdias) This is a bug in the starter kit. According the express API documentation http://expressjs.com/de/api.html#express you create an express app by calling the top level express() function. This is a top-level function and not an object constructor and it therefore should be called as a function.

    I suggest to make a PR against the MERN starter kit.
