how do you run node with express in background process?

Hi,

I've been able to get node and express up and running but only when i invoke it directly: node ./bin/www

The problem is that runs the server in my shell and I have to keep the shell running for the website to work. I've installed forever and pm2 but neither can start my express app. Is this an environment config? What's the recommended practice?

Thanks!

node.js express
