fix module.js:328 throw err;

Question

I'm learning nodejs through some tutorials and so far it went smooth. Now I got an error and I'm stuck. Can anyone help me with it.

This is my app.js file

var greet5 = require('/greet5');
greet5.greet();

And this is my greet5.js file which is located in same directory as app.js

var greeting = "Hello from Revieling Module pattern";

function greet(){
    console.log(greeting);
}

module.exports = {
    greet : greet
}

when I run node app.js on terminal this is the error I'm facing.

 module.js:328
        throw err;
        ^

Error: Cannot find module '/greet5'

Can anyone help me with this. Thanks

The README.md file of the nodejs project, appeared after running nodejs install , explains you how to run the web app through nodejs.

It says you have to execute npm run dev on the command line.

Here you are the default README.md:

# Front End Boilerplate
Front-end boilerplate for creating new web projects with Gulp.js and everything you need to get started.
# Getting Started
Required! Gulp installed `npm install -g gulp`
```
$ cd html-boilerplate
$ npm install
$ npm run dev  
```
# Build to production
```
$ npm run build
```
Thank you for your suggestions!
