I created a package.json file which contains the following data:

After that used the following mand:

    npm install 

After that my file directory looks like that:

As you can see "Async" has been installed. But still keep getting this error:

Can anyone help??

• javascript
• node.js
• npm

• I can't see the async module inside the node_modules folder. What I see is that your main folder task-management has a different name from the one you gave to your package in the package.json file. Are you sure you're in the same directory? – Rodrigo Medeiros Commented Aug 17, 2015 at 11:38
• @RodrigoMedeiros Apologies I have corrected my mistake. Please see the question. I am still getting the same error but you can see the Async in the node_module list. – Skywalker Commented Aug 17, 2015 at 12:14

Erm, I might be crazy but I don't see async installed in the screenshot. Try to install it manually via npm install async.

You can try doing:

npm install async 

instead of:

npm install -g async

This might help you.

In my case npm install async was still throwing an error so I have done following:

1. brew uninstall --force node  (it deletes all node versions you have on puter)

2. brew doctor 

3. brew prune

4. brew install node

5. npm install async

For those who are silly just like me, I did

npm install aysnc

instead of

npm install async

Please mind the spelling
