browserify 'Error: Cannot find module' in trying to fix 'Uncaught reference error: require is not defined'

Question

I am having a very similar, or almost exact, issue to @RachelD from this thread ( Node.js + Angular = Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined ) regarding the Uncaught reference error. However, when I run my 'browserify' command as stated in the directions here ( https://github.com/substack/node-browserify ) and exactly as shown below (I included my directory as well for reference)...

myname@compname:~/workspace/MyApp $ browserify /app/scripts/controllers/main.js > bundle.js

I am getting a 'Cannot find module' error

Error: Cannot find module '/app/scripts/controllers/main.js' from '/Users/myname/workspace/MyApp'

How do I get past this error?

You are using an absolute path: /app/scripts/controllers/main.js . You probably want app/scripts/controllers/main.js .
