I get error in node js in app.js file in app.set

Question

I don't know why I get an error but if you help i will be very thankful.

Here's My CODE of the app.js and important note I have downloaded express and body-parser through the node package manager.

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

const app = express;

app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

app.get("/",function(req,res){
    var today = new Date();
    var option = {
        weekday:"long",
        day:"numeric",
        month:"long"
    };
    var day = today.toLocaleDateString("en-US",option);
res.sendfile(__dirname + "/index.html");
res.render('list', {kindOfDay:day});

});
app.listen(3000,function(){
  console.log("Server started on port 3000");
});

My Error

    ^

  Loading express module returns a function. So, Please try changing your code like this.
  const app = express();

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

const app = express();

app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

app.get("/",function(req,res){
    var today = new Date();
    var option = {
        weekday:"long",
        day:"numeric",
        month:"long"
    };
    var day = today.toLocaleDateString("en-US",option);
res.sendfile(__dirname + "/index.html");
res.render('list', {kindOfDay:day});

});
app.listen(3000,function(){
  console.log("Server started on port 3000");
});
