NPM packages are not running with the node.js

Question

enter image description here

Mysupername is the console.logged value that got printed out and not the expected output.

enter image description here

I already tried reinstalling it. I used "npm install prompt -sync" to use it with javascript inside the vs vode but I don't know where I am going wrong. I have already added the varaibles in system advanced setting.

Vs code error msg if I try to use "prompt" or "alert" inside and run through code runner extension

There's a slight mistake with your code. Firstly, the reason why it is printing Mysupername to the console is because you provided console.log with a string. Instead just provide the variable name like this:

const superheroes = require('superheroes');

var Mysupername = superheroes.random();

console.log(Mysupername);

Now, the reason why prompt isn't working is because you never imported the library into your code, you can do it by the following:

const prompt = require("prompt");

Final note, alert is only available when running javascript through a browser.
