I had this issue and fixed with these two lines in app.js:

app.engine('html', require('ejs').renderFile);
app.set('view engine', 'html');

There may be a better solution, as I am new to the MEAN stack myself. The only issue I am having now with this tutorial is any manual refresh of the browser or manual typing of urls bypasses the angular routes and tries to use the node routes. I've read a few posts about fixing this, but would love to see what didinj's solution would be.

I also had this issue and found a fix for that, just add below code in app.js

app.use('/book-create', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'dist')));
app.use('/book-details/:id', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'dist')));
app.use('/book-edit/:id', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'dist')));

after this code

app.use('/books', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'dist')));

Above we are just defining the routes for each link.
P.S. If anyone has any other solution, I would love to know that.
