Using stylus middleware with express 4, SyntaxError - node.js

Question

Im trying to use nodejs express v4 with stylus, but its throwing SyntaxError. Please help, also you can find my server.js below;;
Please note: Im first time creating MEANstack project, and dont be harsh on me :)
Your environment has been set up for using Node.js 0.10.26 (x64) and npm.
Error: Most middleware (like logger) is no longer bundled with Express and must
be installed separately. Please see https://github.com/senchalabs/connect#middle

#thyforhtian yes, you were right my code was outdated.
I fixed it.
Im not using nodejs to compile my stylus file anymore, instead im using gulp.
Posting my file here, with steps, it might be helpful for someone-else.
Compile stylus files with gulp watch. And code for express server js file
Started with installing node modules
npm init
npm install -save express jade
// Step 1: Install gulp globally
npm install -g gulp
// Step 2: Install gulp in your project
npm install --save-dev gulp gulp-stylus gulp-plumber
npm install morgan body-parser --save
server.js
var express = require('express');
var stylus = require('stylus');
var logger = require('morgan');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var env = process.env.NODE_ENV = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';
var app = express();
//set view engine
app.set('views', __dirname + '/server/views');
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded());
app.use(cookieParser());
//all public req will be responded by public dir now.
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
//load route
app.get('*', function(req, res){
res.render('index');
});
//start listening on server
var port = 3000;
app.listen(port);
console.log('Server running at localhost:' + port);
gulpfile.js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var stylus = require('gulp-stylus');
var plumber = require('gulp-plumber');
gulp.task('stylus', function() {
gulp.src('public/stylesheets/style.styl')
.pipe(plumber())
.pipe(stylus())
.pipe(gulp.dest('public/stylesheets'));
});
gulp.task('watch', function() {
gulp.watch('public/stylesheets/*.styl', ['stylus']);
});
gulp.task('default', ['stylus', 'watch']);
run gulp to execute

There seem to be a comma missing after src: __dirname + '/public'.
UPDATE
You should require and use it like this (first add it to package.json and npm install):
var express = require('express');
var logger = require('morgan');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var app = express();
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser());
