I'm trying to simply install a stupid package in Node. I use the normal ol' command and it proceeds to tell me it can't find a file or directory (see image below). I've already updated and reinstalled npm, and still the same thing. I'm also running Windows 8. Any ideas, please?
Should I give up developing Node on a Windows machine?
Thanks!
Run npm init first and it will create the package.json file that it is looking for.

My System:
Mac OSX 10.14.6
Electron: 10.1.5
electron-forge: ^6.0.0-beta.54
I've been working on an Electron side project. I started it using electron-forge, I had a small application functioning just fine, I then set it aside for a couple weeks. Coming back to it, I tried running npm start and it did nothing but return to a new terminal line. So I tried electron-forge start and it returned bash: electron-forge: command not found.
I tried deleting my node_modules folder and reinstalling, I tried creating a new electron-forge boilerplate, and neither made a difference. I tried installing electron-forge globally, but it errored out on the second step, and I found several stackoverflow articles saying I shouldn't have electron-forge installed globally. I haven't changed anything (that I know of) on a system level, but it seems to be a system issue, rather than a package issue, but I'm not knowledgable enough to do anything other than Google the errors and see what stacksoverflow articles are out there, but no articles have helped.
I'd love any and all help, Electron has ceased working on my system completely, and I have no idea how to troubleshoot it. Thanks in advance!
I ended up deleting and re-installing Node and that seems to have fixed it. Still not sure what caused the initial issue, but it's working again. For those interested, here's the resources I used:
https://stackabuse.com/how-to-uninstall-node-js-from-mac-osx/
https://pawelgrzybek.com/install-nodejs-installer-vs-homebrew-vs-nvm/
Update:
I kept having issues running npm start. What finally worked was to create a new boilerplate project using the CLI and copy the contents of the package-lock.json to the old project. That finally launched the app.
I know this is an old question but, I had the same issue and instead of uninstalling Node, I used rm -rf node_modules then I used npm cache clean --force. I reinstalled my dependencies and electron-forge worked again.
Use the command below
npm install electron
I've been creating a JavaScript game for a project recently and have done it completely on the CodePen website. I now am trying to transfer it to WebStorm to turn it into a basic website. However when I try to run my code I get the following error:
I don't know how to fix it, I've looked everywhere and haven't been able to get some help. Any information would be appreciated.
Simple one, basically the error says, I don't know how to interpret this bit of code that you just gave me. You're missing local install of Node.js and NPM. Get the latest versions of these 2, and then go to File -> Settings -> Language&Frameworks -> Node.js and NPM and in the Node interpreter text box, point it to the path of where node.js was installed.
You're running this JavaScript file with Node.js that is probably not installed on your machine. It seems that you want to run and debug your app in the browser instead. For that you need to create a JavaScript run/debug configuration instead as described here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/debugging-javascript-in-chrome.html
On a linux machnie,
Install nodejs and npm
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
Get the nodejs installation folder
whereis nodejs
Should print something like:
/usr/bin/nodejs /usr/lib/nodejs /usr/include/nodejs /usr/share/nodejs /usr/share/man/man1/nodejs.1.gz
Go to:
Webstorm-> File -> Languages & Frameworks -> Node interpreter
Copy paste the installation folder to the text box.
Mac OS here. Solved the issue with:
$ brew install nodejs
I was trying to install this : Search git whodotheyserve. com but this error shows up consistently .No matter what i try. I have tried other version of npm they are installed but the
npm test
error shows up .
npm run-script task
too returns error
This happens consistently .Also i am following each step mentioned in source of this project.Image attached.Please help where am i wrong here. The file extension used here ls .I had no experience with these. Image link
Echo %PATH% image link
The build fails because you are using Windows instead of Linux.
This is clearly stated in the installation instructions you claim to have followed in your duplicate question.
notes
The build tasks rely on Linux shell commands such as pkill and rsync
so are unlikely to run on other OS's without some tweaks.
If you want to run this under windows, you should ask the repo maintainer for guidance.
You have to install python 2.7 and make sure it's in your PATH variable.
Try:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\python2.7\python.exe
Replace C:\python2.7\python.exe with your actual python installation path
The issue here was that this was made to run on linux only.So ,it won't run on windows on which i was trying to run it.The issue arose as i was trying to install it on wrong OS.I have successfully installed it on linux.It works great.
I want to thank all those who contributed in helping me with this issue.Thanks a lot to all those who helped.
I try to use node-vlc with nw.js (v0.12.0-alpha2). When i launch my app without nw.js it works, but when i launch it with nw.js i got an error:
Uncaught Error: Module did not self-register.", source: /home/alexis/Bureau/dev/jukebox/node_modules/vlc/node_modules/ffi/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js (84)
I tried some commands with nw-gyp but it couldn't help me.
I am on Ubuntu 14, 64-bit.
If you've upgraded node then npm rebuild might fix this for you
For me:
rm -r node_modules then
npm install
I had a similar issue with another product and my fix was to change the version of node I was using. I was using 0.12.0 and changed back to 0.10.26.
Personally, I use NVM to handle node version changing. With NVM installed it's as simple as running
nvm use 0.10.26
Or setting the default version to 0.10.26
nvm alias default 0.10.26
Hopefully this helps you out - our issues came from different products but the solution may be the same.
I had similar problem.
/Users/user/NodeAddons/bridge/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:83
Error: Module did not self-register.
In my case I was doing a C/C++ Add-on, and I had forgotten to export the add-on, in my main.cc was missing the code below:
void Init(v8::Handle<v8::Object> exports) {
NODE_SET_METHOD(exports, "method", method);
}
NODE_MODULE(method, Init);
Hope this helps others!
Thanks :)
I've add the same issue because I installed to modules as sudo...
Removing the node modules folder and reinstalling as normal user fixed it.
For me npm rebuild or npm update didn't work. I had to remove the node_modules folder and run npm install to install them again.
I once had this problem when creating a multi-file c++ addon. In my binding.gyp file I had:
"sources": ["src/*.cc", "src/*.h" ]
And my project contained several *.cc files. However, the NODE_MODULE() macro was called only on one file which imported the rest of the files. But node expects that it is called on the frist *.cc file listed in sources. So I had to change sources to explicitly add that file to the beginning
For me, running npm update worked
I was getting an internal error: Module did not self-register.
Deleted the node_modules folder
ran npm install
It worked just fine.
I had this error with Snappy. Was using Node 11. Checked Snappy's NPM page https://www.npmjs.com/package/snappy where they listed which versions of node they supported.
Deleting node_modules folder rm -rf node_modules and then reinstalling using the correct version of Node resolved it.
One of the versions they supported on Linux at the time of this writing was Node version 12.
nvm deactivate 11
nvm uninstall 11
nvm install 12
nvm use 12
Problem solved
Another cause of this problem: if you're using pm2, then after upgrading node you may need to reinstall pm2. Test whether pm2 is the issue by running your app
without pm2 node server.js
then with pm2: pm2 start server.js.
Proper way to update PM2 after updating Node.js
I had this same issue with 0.12 and io.js 1.3.0, reverting to Node.js 0.10 fixed the issue.
Rebuild your C++ add-ons.
Did you encounter something like this?
Module did not self-register: '…\node_modules\#u4\opencv4nodejs\build\Release\opencv4nodejs.node
It’s likely that you have just updated your Node.js. Once you updated your Node.js, you need to rebuild your C++ add-ons, Node.js packages written in C++.
Why
When you build Node.js’ C++ add-ons, they get compiled into require-able .node files and linked to the currently installed Node.js ABI library, which is not compatible with other versions of it. Your packages were built only compatible with the specific version of Node.js.
How
Firstly, try npm rebuild. If your C++-add-on-based packages have a build script, it’ll do. If it doesn’t, you need to manually build your C++ native add-on packages. Do again what you did when you were installing such packages. Refer to the building instructions in the packages’ documentations to rebuild them. Or try reinstalling (npm install) them.
I had the same problem. My script that was referencing a global reference script had an invalid reference. I took off that invalid reference and the error was gone. My error message had no indication of that particular invalid reference which made it harder to debug. But 'Uncaught Error: Module did not self-register' was the message I was getting.
This also happen in my other project. For some reason, it wouldn't recognize the reference path if one of the characters are uppercase. Even thought, the upper-casing was the correct spelling of the path.
I had this issue while setting up my Cypress project.
I found out the issue was caused because Cypress uses node from its bundle version by default (which was version 8.0 in my case) , whilst the package I wanted to use required the node version to be 10 or higher.
I did have node 12.0 installed on my machine but since cypress was not using that I had to add the line shown below in the settings file (cypress.json) to set the value for 'nodeVersion' to 'system', to tell cypress explicitly to use the node version installed on my machine.
Add this line to your settings file:
**"nodeVersion": "system"**
I am new to node.js,today I joined in another team they are working with node.js,backbone.js,marionette.js and sqlserver.I have an idea about backbone,Marionette but I never work on node.js.They asked me to clone the git repository,As per their suggestion I installed node.js.
After cloning the repository,I got the files just in the following way.
I opened node_modules folder,It has nearly 10 sub-folders are there.
node-sqlserver doesn't have any files inside.might be because of that I am getting the following error while server running time.
I ran the server with the following command
node server.js local
getting the following error
I don't know,why I am getting.can anyone help me.
Thanks.
You need to install all the dependent modules through npm install, In your case, you need to install node-sqlserver.
npm install node-sqlserver
Generally your source code will be having a package.json. This file specifies all the
dependent modules required to run the application, but here this file is missing.
