Node-red throw err

Error:

When trying to run Node-RED I encountered the following error: Essentially it’s missing the module “express”, as can be seen by the 5 line.

module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^
Error: Cannot find module 'express'

Fix:

In order to fix it, simply install the missing module using the following command.

npm install express

Note: If you’re getting several of these errors (express, nopt, when, uglify-js, clone, ws, etc) in a row after you’ve download and tried to run Node-RED, you might have missed the step to install all the packages:

npm install --production
