Learning Web App Development

On page 197, after installing the ntwitter module, I type ls node_modules. This won’t work. The node_modules directory is actually one directory above, in the app directory.

This is because npm installs modules in the same directory as the closest package.json file, and since we didn’t create a package.json file in the Twitter directory, it installs it one directory above where there is a package.json file.

Thanks to Ken Hommel for finding this!
