Node.js cannot find module 'readable-stream'

node-mysql, node.js

Solution

I got this error for the a long while. Stupidly I hadn't installed gulp... In short this problem occurs when a package is missing.

npm install gulp -g

I would suggest working out which task you are running and then install that.

Problem

I am new to node.js and stuck on the following. Any help will be appreciated: I am running node.js (0.10.28) on ubuntu (12.10). The code I am working on is: ``` "use strict"; var mysql = require('node-mysql'), connection = mysql.createConnection({ host: "127.0.0.1", user: "user", password: "password", database: "dbname" }); if(connection) { console.log("Query"); connection.query("select * from client",function(err,res) { if(err)console.log(err); console.log(res); }); } ``` I get the following error ``` Error: Cannot find module 'readable-stream' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25) at Module.require (module.js:364:17) at require (module.js:380:17) at Object.<anonymous> (/root/RonakNodeEmail/node_modules/node-mysql/lib/protocol/sequences/Query.js:7:20) at Module._compile (module.js:456:26) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10) at Module.load (module.js:356:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12) at Module.require (module.js:364:17) ```
