node js cannot find module request

Question

I installed request module  and getting the error  module js 340     throw err              Error  Cannot find module  request   i ve read all the posts about this error  and understand that this is because module requests is not globally found  but i ve already tried the 2 suggestions  npm install request -g  should this install it in  usr loca bin   because i don t see it there  and  sudo npm link  usr local lib node modules request - gt   Users soulsonic dev sandbox node test request  i restarted terminal after each command  but keep getting the cannot find module  error  update there must have been some sort of conflict in my initial directory  because  quot npm install request quot  was not adding  quot request quot  under node modules  there 10 others in there     after switching to a new directory it just worked  if i run it with -g switch  i do see it bing installed to  usr local lib node modules request  it seems that i just need to update my profile so that above path is automatically added

You should simply install request locally within your project   Just cd to the folder containing your js file and run  npm install request

I was running into the same problem  here is how I got it working    open terminal   mkdir testExpress cd testExpress npm install request   or  sudo npm install -g request    If you would like to globally install    now don t use   node app js or node test js  you will run into this problem doing so  You can also print the problem that is being cause by using this command    node -p app js   The above command to start nodeJs has been deprecated  Instead use  npm start   You should see this     testExpress 0 0 0 start  Users  username  testExpress node   bin www   Open your web browser and check for localhost 3000  You should see Express install  Welcome to Express

Go to directory of your project  mkdir TestProject cd TestProject   Make this directory a root of your project  this will create a default package json file   npm init --yes   Install required npm module and save it as a project dependency  it will appear in package json   npm install request --save   Create a test js file in project directory with code from package example  var request   require  request    request  http   www google com   function  error  response  body      if   error  amp  amp  response statusCode    200        console log body      Print the google web page            Your project directory should look like this  TestProject  - node modules  - package json - test js   Now just run node inside your project directory  node test js
