Creating an express project first run gives errors

I installed express globally.

I have created a new project called helloExpress like this:

express helloExpress -c less

Installed all dependencies:

cd helloExpress
sudo npm install

Run the app:

node app.js

Output error:

/home/dev/projects/helloExpress/app.js:1
s., */,,var expr
      ^

node.js:201
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
              ^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ,
    at Module._compile (module.js:429:25)

    at Function._load (module.js:308:12)
    at Array.0 (module.js:479:10)
    at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:192:41)

Looking into the code of app.js it looks like this:

/**, * Module dependencies., */,,var express = require('express'),  , routes = require('./routes'),  , user = require('./routes/user'),  , http = require('http'),  , path = require('path');,,var app = express();// all environments,app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);,app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');,app.set('view engine', 'jade');,app.use(express.favicon());,app.use(express.logger('dev'));,app.use(express.bodyParser());,app.use(express.methodOverride());,app.use(app.router);undefined  app.use(require('less-middleware')({ src: __dirname + '/public' }));,app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));,,// development only,if ('development' == app.get('env')) {,  app.use(express.errorHandler());,},,app.get('/', routes.index);,app.get('/users', user.list);,,http.createServer(app).listen(app.get('port'), function(){,  console.log('Express server listening on port ' + app.get('port'));,});,

As you can see there are , everywhere. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong here?
