Error: Cannot find module 'mongodb/node_modules/bson'

Question

I am using node 8.1.2 with mongoose 4.11. On starting the app, I am getting these errors:

D:\express_learn\LAM>node app.js
module.js:487
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'mongodb/node_modules/bson'

I tried the following solution from here

npm install node-gyp -g
npm cache clean
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

But still getting the same error.

Here is package.json

{
  "name": "learn-about-me",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node app"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "bcrypt-nodejs": "0.0.3",
    "body-parser": "^1.6.5",
    "connect-flash": "^0.1.1",
    "cookie-parser": "^1.3.2",
    "ejs": "^1.0.0",
    "express": "^4.15.3",
    "express-session": "^1.7.6",
    "mongoose": "^4.11.0",
    "passport": "^0.2.0",
    "passport-local": "^1.0.0"
  }
}
