I'm working to setup node on a Windows pc. I'm new to this so figuring this out has been time consuming. The instructions I received were to do "npm install" and then "node index.js".

This is the error I received:

Error: Cannot find module 'qs'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:485:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:437:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:513:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:11:18)
    at Object.<anonymous>(C:\Users\WLL\Desktop\Coding\WebDev_Code_Test\api\node_modules\express\lib\middleware\query.js:16:10)
    at Module._pile (module.js:569:30)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:580:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:503:32)
    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:466:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:458:3)

Any ideas where to start?

• Did you do npm install in the same folder as the package.json file? Also, next time just post the contents of the package.json in the original post itself, by editing it. – glhrmv Commented Jun 17, 2017 at 13:55
