There was a problem hiding this comment.
express-generator is not express. Installing express won't install express-generator. Besides that npx offers you to install a package if it is not already installed, so using it to check whether a package is installed is not a great idea. npm ls lists installed packages and I'd say is the recommended way to check what is installed.
Probably the best way to verify if Express is installed correctly is following the next step and creating a simple "Hello world" server.

What
Added a "Verify your installation" section to the installing guide.
Why
New users have no way to confirm Express installed correctly.
This adds a quick verification step using express-generator.
