Trying to learn HTML5 and downloaded a test project https://github.com/amiklosi/Comicr. There is a folder named views with a index.jade which I suppose is the start page. What does it take to run that type of files? I can not open it directly in the browser.

jade is a HTML templating engine. All jade files need to be transformed in the HTML.

You need to install to install jade by running

npm install jade

Also don't forget that you need to install other dependencie like express, nodemailer, etc (see requires in the source code).

Then run the app using

node app.js

And the application should by available on http://localhost/3000. All Jade templates will be correctly rendered and displayed as HTML.
