How to run node in VSCode properly?

Question

$ node test.js
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:883
  throw err;
  ^

I tried all the ways (adding/checking PATH route for node js, restarting, using another files etc) and couldn't find why my node doesn't run properly. When I'm typing node -v it returns me version, so it is installed, I go to VSCode and open my any folder. Then in JS file when I'm typing for instance node app.js it throws me error that I wrote above. Any idea what should I try else?

Seems like node modules are not properly installed. Try these steps and let me know:

• delete node_modules
• delete package-lock.json file
• npm install
• npm start

should be good to go.
