grunt Cannot find module 'coffee-script'
coffeescript, javascript, mean-stack, node.js
Solution
- Remove `node_modules` directory.
- `npm cache clean` to empty downloaded temporary dependencies, just in case.
- `npm install` again, and better not to interrupt it while running.
These solved most of these problems for me.
Problem
I used the following commands to install a mean stack and create an app: ``` > sudo npm install -g meanio@latest // Get the mean cmdline > mean init myApp // create your first app > cd myApp && npm install // Install dependencies > grunt // Launch mean ``` but when I get to the final grunt command I get the error: `module.js:333 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'coffee-script' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:331:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:273:25) at Module.require (module.js:357:17) at require (module.js:373:17) at Object.<anonymous> (/home/eddie/ResFour/node_modules/grunt/lib/grunt.js:16:1)` I've tried various solutions on stackoverflow to no avail: NodeJS - setting up mean.io cannot find module errors Cannot find module 'coffee-script' I also cleared npm cache and reinstalled a few times.
