How to run node.js applications locally for development

Question

I am new to node.js ,today I joined in another team they are working with node.js,backbone.js,marionette.js and sqlserver .I have an idea about backbone,Marionette but I never work on node.js .They asked me to clone the git repository,As per their suggestion I installed node.js .

After cloning the repository,I got the files just in the following way.

I opened node_modules folder,It has nearly 10 sub-folders are there.

node-sqlserver doesn't have any files inside.might be because of that I am getting the following error while server running time.

I ran the server with the following command

node server.js local

getting the following error

I don't know,why I am getting.can anyone help me.

Thanks.

You need to install all the dependent modules through npm install , In your case, you need to install node-sqlserver .

npm install node-sqlserver

Generally your source code will be having a package.json . This file specifies all the dependent modules required to run the application, but here this file is missing.
