//app.set('view engine', 'pug') 
var path = require('path');
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));

The error message means that your express app could not find a file error.ejs in the folder "/home/simawedl/mynode/views". Once you create that file, this error will be gone.

Here is a simple example of such file that will print the error details:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Error</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1><%= message %></h1>
    <h2><%= error.status %></h2>
    <pre><%= error.stack %></pre>
  </body>
</html>
