MODULE_NOT_FOUND error on npm install

I deleted the local folder which contained bluebird on my system using:

rm -rf <module_path>

And now when I try to install it again using:

npm install bluebird or npm install bluebird --save I get the following error everytime:

npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND
npm ERR! Cannot find module 'bluebird'

I'm kind of stuck here because the only way I can think of fixing the error is by installing bluebird but I can't install it because of the above error.

Solution

  • This was because of an issue with my package-lock.json. I deleted the package-lock and reran npm install and that ended up fixing my issue
