Node Cannot find module 'D:\Education\nodemon\bin\nodemon.js'

  • I am a beginner in NodeJS

  • Environment is Windows 11 64 Bit.

  • Node and Nodemon (Globally too) and NPM are installed and working.

    Now when I run the command

    npm run server

It gives the following error

> devconnector@1.0.0 server
> nodemon server

'MongoDB' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'D:\Education\nodemon\bin\nodemon.js'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:933:15)

    at node:internal/main/run_main_module:17:47 {
  code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
  requireStack: []
}

Its looking in the wrong folder for the nodemon files. When I pasted the files there it worked fine but I want to change the folder it searches for those files in.

Here is my server.js file

const express = require("express");

const app = express();

app.get("/", (req, res) => res.send("API Running"));

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000;

app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server started on port ${PORT}`));

And my package.json file

Most likely the file in the specified D:\Education\nodemon\bin\nodemon.js field in your nodemon module may be missing or corrupt. Have you checked the file? If there is no problem with the file, try reinstalling it the way you installed it, this will most likely solve the problem.

Have a nice day
