Yeti problem - can't find module 'jade'

Question

I've just installed Yeti from Yahoo, but when I go to http://localhost:8000/ I get this:

Error: Cannot find module 'jade'
at loadModule (node.js:289:15)
at require (node.js:420:14)
at ServerResponse.render (/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/yeti/0.1.0/dependencies/express/view.js:258:46)
at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/yeti/0.1.0/package/lib/server.js:28:13)
at pass (/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/yeti/0.1.0/dependencies/connect/middleware/router.js:67:31)

at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:50:25)

I also want to mention that i have installed this using the installer package from Yahoo! http://yuilibrary.com/downloads/download.php?file=3716057163a82b4b00c2a00ab0bb186e

Is there a fix for this?

I had this problem using the "Express" framework and I solved it by typing npm install -d in directory where my app was created.

What does this flag actually do? – Shane Chin Aug 19 '12 at 00:46
@ShaneChin: Errr... It's nothing more than a verbose output flag? See `npm help config` or [these docs](https://npmjs.org/doc/config.html) for reference. The net effect is nothing more than installing all of `package.json`'s specified modules into `node_modules` in your local directory. – Christopher Dec 19 '12 at 04:32

I haven't installed yeti, but by looking at the node stack trace, it looks like the maintainer left out the jade module.

From the console try:

/usr/local/bin/npm install jade

or

sudo /usr/local/bin/npm install jade

depending on your permissions.

Repeat for any other missing modules. If you're still stuck, I can download it and check it out.

Maybe the installer didn't install the npm binary. Maybe see if you can find it. Does 'type npm' return anything? Is there any file called npm in the /usr/local directory? 'find /usr/local -name npm' – bxjx Sep 09 '10 at 03:08
Maybe binary is installed to `/usr/bin/npm`, if npm is installed via `curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh`. Somehow I have the very same error with `jade` and I've done `sudo /usr/bin/npm install jade`. – shaman.sir Mar 15 '11 at 10:53

I solved this problem with:

ln -s /usr/lib/node ~/.node_modules

So the full npm install process for me was:

curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh
ln -s /usr/lib/node ~/.node_modules
sudo npm install jade
node ./build.js

(do not use sudo if not required)
