Throw the error: Cannot find module 'express' in NodeJs

Dung Do Tien Sep 27 2021 167

Hi, this is the first time I try to create an app with NodeJs. Like this:

var express = require("express");
//app
var app = express();
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
    res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
    return next();
});

It feels simple but when run the code above and I got an error : Error: Cannot find module 'express'.

Error: Cannot find module 'express'
Require stack:

    You need to check you install express or not. You can run the command below to help install or reinstall express for you.

    npm install express --save

    Or you can run npm install command to help update/install all package

    You need to install Express locally into the context of your application (node_modules folder):

    npm install express

    And re-try run your app.
