Answer 1

Add dependency in package.json and then run npm install

    {
  ...
  ... 
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "*",
    "ejs": "*",
  }
}

Answer 2

In my case there was no silly syntax error, but same error arised. I had installed ejs and ejs-mate globally. I installed it locally and found my error resolved.

Answer 3

Installing express locally solved my same problem. npm i express --save

Answer 4

I had the same issue. Once I set environment variable NODE_PATH to the location of my modules (/usr/local/node-v0.8.4/node_modules in my case) the problem went away. P.S. NODE_PATH accepts a colon separated list of directories if you need to specify more than one.

Answer 5

app.set('view engine', 'ejs')

and then in the terminal

npm install ejs --save 

resolves the issue
