npm install is missing modules

bower, gulp, node.js, npm

Solution

I've faced the same problem when bootstrapping a MEAN application and add each missing dependencie with `npm install packageName --save` was not an option so I came across to npm-install-missing whom has saved my life :)

Installation

`npm install -g npm-install-missing`

Usage

npm-install-missing

Problem

Before I can run `gulp` in my project I need to run `npm install`. This works except on my computer, because I get the following error: ``` Error: Cannot find module 'socket.io' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25) at Module.require (module.js:364:17) ... ``` I can fix this with ``` $> npm install socket.io ``` Now when I do the install command again I get ``` Error: Cannot find module 'di' ... ``` When I install `di` and run the install command again I get: ``` Error: Cannot find module 'log4js' ``` I think that this might continue for a very long time. Any suggestions what is going on here and how to fix this ?
