Express module not found when installed with NPM

Question

When I try to run the app.js file created by express, I get the following error:

$ node app.js

node.js:134
        throw e; // process.nextTick

I had the same problem. This worked for me though:

Seems like npm (now?) installs node modules to /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ and not /usr/local/lib/node/

What I did was simply to copy everything from node_modules to node: sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/node_modules/* usr/local/lib/node/ and now it seems to be working for me.

Hope this helps you :-)
