I think the best way is to use dotenv package and set the port on the .env config file without to modify the file www inside the folder bin.

Just install the package with the command:

npm install dotenv

require it on your application:

require('dotenv').config()

Create a .env file in the root directory of your project, and add the port in it (for example) to listen on port 5000

PORT=5000

and that's it.
