Nodejs lodash issue in Windows 10

Question

Windows 10 64bit

I am trying to play with this repo: https://github.com/mailgun/node-prelaunch

I have Mongodb up and running, along with node.js, but can't seem to get node server to run.

I've installed lodash in the main directory(C:\Users\me\Desktop\myproject\node-prelaunch) where package.js holds dependencies but am still getting thrown these errors:

C:\Users\me\Desktop\myproject\node-prelaunch>node server
module.js:327
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module './lodash'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename     (module.js:325:15)
    at Function.Module._load     (module.js:276:25)
    at Module.require     (module.js:353:17)
    at require     (internal/module.js:12:17)
    at Object.<anonymous>     (C:\Users\me\Desktop\myproject\node-    prelaunch\node_modules\express-    validator\node_modules\lodash\index.js:1:80)
    at Module._compile     (module.js:409:26)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:416:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:343:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:300:12)
    at Module.require (module.js:353:17)
    at require     (internal/module.js:12:17)

I've reviewed this link and tried v to follow the steps meeting:cannot find module "lodash"

In the end I guess I'm not exactly sure where the file location of lodash should be installed. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You're importing lodash from the current working directory, instead of the local package index:

require('./lodash')
Error: Cannot find module './lodash'

./lodash is a relative path. It means <current directory>/lodash Try using the name without prefix:

require('lodash')
