I had installed the NodeJS like this:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash - apt-get install -y nodejs

And updated npm:

npm install npm@latest -g

Then installed the express module

npm install express -g

At the end i've created a file test.js in which wrote require("express"). Then tried to execute the file by comand node test, but NodeJS said what he cant to find the express module:

Error: Cannot find module 'express'

Did you install with sudo? Sometimes you have to do that when installing globally – selten98 Jun 22 '17 at 10:55
