you just need to start your app like that:

pm2 start npm --name "your-project-name" -- start

Check the status:

pm2 status

and after you can restart / stop:

pm2 restart your-project-name
pm2 stop your-project-name

What is my project name? `Nuxt / express` Npm Do you need to target the folder created after run build? – hyeokluv Jun 07 '17 at 09:54
The project name is just an alias for PM2. The most important is "pm2 start npm -- start", it's the way for PM2 to do a "npm run start", then the "start" script from nuxt know that the target folder is "dist". – Nicolas Pennec Jun 07 '17 at 17:03

I understand now. And I tried. **I finally solved it.** Thank you very much. Be happy. – hyeokluv Jun 07 '17 at 17:49
Add, **What folders should be moved during the actual service?** `Build/main.js` and `.nuxt/dist`? – hyeokluv Jun 07 '17 at 18:05

Prerequisites

node.js installed on web server
nginx installed and configured on web server
pm2 installed and configured on web server

Then

Add to your universal Nuxt app for serving it though PM2 is a file called ecosystem.config.js. Create a new file with that name in your root project directory and add the following content:

 module.exports = {
   apps: [
     {
       name: 'project-name',
       exec_mode: 'cluster',
       instances: 'max', // Or a number of instances
       script: './node_modules/nuxt/bin/nuxt.js',
       args: 'start'
     }
   ]
 }

Connect to your linux server via FTP (FileZilla or etc..) Send the blue files I marked to the server. (you don't need to upload node_modues, .nuxt, dist, .git, .idea, etc... folders)
Connect server via ssh console, (windows : putty) and go to projects folder that you uploaded files.
```
 cd /
 cd var/www/project-name
```
Install node_modules folder by;
```
 npm install
```
Execute nuxt build and create .nuxt folder by;
```
 npm run build
```
Finally, ready to start starts pm2 server by;
```
 pm2 start
```
