Answer 1

Try running

npm install streamsearch

Does this work?

Answer 2

Make sure you have installed streamsearch.

npm install streamsearch

If it is still not working, check that you have cloned stable for production or not. If you did, re-clone it and do installation steps again. Use sudo for npm/grunt commands (if you are on OSX or Linux) for npm ERR! .

Answer 3

I just looked at the Ghost Docs, and it says to install the dependencies for production you must run npm install --production and not npm install --productions . Once you install streamsearch , it will keep complaining until you have installed all the individual dependencies with npm install --production .

Hope this helps!
