Angular is not defined using nodejs

Question

I'm fairly new to Angular and NodeJS and trying to run a sample website.

From what I understood, to run it I simply need to execute "node app.js".

However, I get the following error:

C:\app\app.js:3
angular
^

ReferenceError: angular is not defined
at Object.<anonymous> (C:\app\app.js:3:1)
at Module._compile (module.js:570:32)
at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:579:10)
at Module.load (module.js:487:32)
at tryModuleLoad (module.js:446:12)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:438:3)
at Module.runMain (module.js:604:10)
at run (bootstrap_node.js:389:7)
at startup (bootstrap_node.js:149:9)
at bootstrap_node.js:504:3

My app.js looks like this:

'use strict';

angular
  .module('apmportal', [
    'ngCookies',
    'ngResource'
])

The project's structure is:

Here is the index.html:

  <!-- build:js scripts/vendor.js -->
  <!-- bower:js -->
  <script src="bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
  <script src="bower_components/angular/angular.js"></script>
  <script src="bower_components/angular-resource/angular-resource.js">

App folder structure:

I should mention that node is installed and I've also ran bower install to install all dependencies. Clearly I'm missing something here but I just cant figure out what.

Appreciate your help.

You cannot run node app.js because app.js is your front-end file. create server.js outside in your project structure and serve app/index.html from that(you should have index.html inside app folder). then run node server.js

If you don't have idea about set up backend check this project structure

Project Structure

In my case I have server code in app.js so it would be node app.js in my case
