Node Nodemon Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Program Files\Git\node_modules\nodemon\bin\nodemon.js'

Question

• I am a beginner at NodeJS stuff.
• Environment is Windows 7 64 Bit.
• Node is installed and working.
• NPM is also working fine.
• Nodemon is installed. (In App and also Globally)

Now when I run the command:

"nodemon server.js" or just "nodemon"

it gives the following error:

module.js:549
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Program Files\Git\node_modules\nodemon\bin\nodemon.js'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:547:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:474:25)
    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:693:10)
    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:188:16)
    at bootstrap_node.js:609:3

• I don't understand what this means? And why is it looking inside the Git folder?
• Does it have to do anything with Environment Variable? But Node and NPM are both working fine.
• Any ideas/suggestion/solution?

Below is my "server.js" file in case you need for reference.

var express = require("express");
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");
var morgan = require("morgan");
var path = require("path");

var app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));
app.use(bodyParser.json());

app.use(function (req, es, next) {
    res.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
    res.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET, POST");
    res.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "X-Requested-With, content-type, Authorization");
    next();
});

app.use(morgan("dev"));
app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/app"));
app.get("*", function (req, res) {
    res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + "/index.html"));
});

app.listen(8080);
console.log(">>>>> App is Running <<<<<");

Answer 1

remove node_modules in your project and than install reagain nodemon module, run below commands;

 rm -rf node_modules npm install -g npm@latest npm i nodemon

Answer 2

In my case it was same issue I solved it by mentioned method hope it will help you so in package.json in script tag

  "start":"nodemon index.js"

   

and in terminal with this command run

  nodemon start

Answer 3

您必须验证服务器名称 (servers.js) 在文件夹中的名称是否相同，( package.json ) 验证main并启动您不应该为 nodemon 创建文件夹。

Answer 4

make sure you are running the server.js is in the root directory and run this command in root directory of your project

nodemon ./server.js

Also you can rename server.js to index.js and just run

nodemon

More on nodemon: https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodemon

Answer 5

使用命令： npm run server而不是 nodemon server.js，您将得到缺少哪个模块的确切错误。

Answer 6

I think this is a typical path problem. You need to fix your environment variable PATH for npm to execute correctly.

the path you need to add looks like: C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin

Find the PATH env var and add the path you expect your npm packages to install from!

Or you can navigate to that directory and execute: npm config set prefix

Answer 7

Nodemon is looking for the main config in the package.json, Which may be missing. try to add main property in package.json with the key of your entry file. for example:-

"main":"src/main.ts"

Answer 8

“开始”：“nodemon src/app.js”
