I ran into this problem after I forgot to install ejs before the first time I ran my app  For some reason ejs was not being seen after installing it later  I found a quick  clean  and effective solution to this problem which was to reinstall express by running npm uninstall express then npm install express in the local directory before restarting the server

Install it locally rather installing it globally  Then your project may be run on any machine without any error I think its better   npm install express --save npm install ejs --save

After you ve installed Express V x x x You need to choose an template view-engine  There are many really easy to learn  My personal go-to is EJS    Other really great and easy to learn could be    Handlebars PUG  Former Jade    To install EJS  And fix your error  Run in root of your project   npm install ejs   Or if you re using Yarn   yarn add ejs   Next you ll need to require the module  so open up your file where you require express  usually app js or server js   add below var express   require  express     var ejs   require  ejs

I had this exact same problem a couple of days ago and couldn t figure it out   Haven t managed to fix the problem properly but this works as a temporary fix   Go up one level  above app js  and do npm install ejs  It will create a new node modules folder and Express should find the module then

Way back when the same issue happened with me   Dependency was there for ejs in JSON file  tried installing it locally and globally but did not work   Then what I did was manually adding the module by   app set  view engine   ejs      app engine  ejs   require  ejs     express     Then it works

I had this problem  I debugged using node-inspector and saw that from the node modules folder where the express source files were  ejs was not installed  So I installed it there and it worked   npm install -g ejs didn t put it where I expected it to despite NODE PATH being set to the same node modules folder  Prob doing it wrong  just started with node

STEP 1  See npm ls   grep ejs at root level of your project to check if you have already added ejs dependency to your project   If not  add it as dependencies to your project   I prefer adding dependency to package json instead of npm installing the module    eg                                                                                                              name    musicpedia                                                                                      version    0 0 0                                                                                        private   true                                                                                          scripts                                                                                                   start    node   bin www                                                                                                                                                                                       dependencies                                                                                              body-parser     1 15 1                                                                                  cookie-parser     1 4 3                                                                                 debug     2 2 0                                                                                         express     4 13 4                                                                                      jade     1 11 0                                                                                         ejs     1 0 0                                                                                                                                                                    morgan     1 7 0                                                                                        serve-favicon     2 3 0                                                                                                                                                                                           STEP 2 download the dependencies  npm install   STEP 3 check ejs module    npm ls   grep ejs musicpedia 0 0 0  Users prayagupd nodejs-fkers musicpedia  -- ejs 1 0 0

In my case there was no silly syntax error  but same error arised  I had installed ejs and ejs-mate globally  I installed it locally and found my error resolved

User · Answer

kindly ensure that your dependencies in your package json files are up to date  Try reinstalling them one at a time after also ensuring that your NPM is the latest version  up-to-date   It worked for me  I advise you to run npm install for the packages thats what worked in my own case after it refused to work because I added the dependencies manually

Reinstalling npm  express and ejs fixed my problem  This one worked for me    On your terminal or cmd -  Go to your apps directory  cd pathtoyourapp AppName rerun your  npm install  rerun your  npm install express  rerun your  npm install ejs    after that  the error was fixed

In my case  I just uninstall then install ejs again   npm uninstall ejs   then  npm install ejs

User · Answer

Install express locally  npm install express while in the project s root directory   Your project depends on both express and ejs  so you should list them both as dependencies in your package json  That way when you run npm install in you project directory  it ll install both express and ejs  so that var express   require  express   will be the local installation of express  which knows about the ejs module that you installed locally  rather than the global one  which doesn t  In general it s a good idea to explicitly list all dependencies in your package json even though some of them might already be globally installed  so you don t have these types of issues
