  • is the path to "./lexer" correct? could you please post the code for module.js or your app/server file? –  Jul 08 '14 at 18:55

    @Rockyy I just had to follow this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13011290/cannot-find-module-coffee-script/19023184#19023184 just deleting the node_modules folder and npm install in that directory fixed the issue. – Steve Birkner Jul 08 '14 at 19:05

As @SteveBirkner already mentioned, delete the node_modules directory and run npm install command again. It should work.

I had the same problem, and in the end of the log I was receiving such a message:

...
http 200 http://registry.npmjs.org/-/all
Killed

The problem was the lack of enough memory in my VM. One solution was to use swap is mentioned here.
