Unable to push to Heroku: Cannot find module 'node-linux-x64/package.json'

Question

I'm really stuck and would really appreciate some help. This question was asked previously here Error while pushing to Heroku: Cannot find module 'node-linux-x64/package.json' however, despite trying all the suggestions I was still unable to resolve this problem.

Just like the individual before who posted the problem initially, I am trying to push a full stack Javascript app to Heroku.

I've re-installed all my dependencies and even downgraded my node and npm.

This issue is especially confusing as I am a Windows user, so to be receiving an error about a module regarding linux feels quite strange.

Please help.

PS C:\Users\Greg\Desktop\GregBots\reactbot>

Thanks a bunch for your suggestions Mazen. I've went through your advice, but can't deploy to Heroku still. I've now attached my package.json which I am pushing as well to Heroku as Heroku installs the dependencies that are needed as per the package.

This error might be caused by multiple things:

According to your error, the npm package node-linux-x64 is set to the wrong version that doesn't exist. Remove node-linux-x64 as Heroku installs the most updated version of Node.js for their system or set it to an existing version.
Did you push your package.json file with your code?
You have pushed your node_module to Heroku which has certain versions of some packages that can only work on your distribution/OS.
You might have installed an npm package globally and forgot to include it to your packages.json file.

Eureka! It worked. Thanks so much Mazen. I think you were right about me installing globally and not including it in the package.json. You the man! – Greg Feb 26 '20 at 04:37
You are welcome! Please approve my answer for others to know. If you have any issues with Node.js or web dev, please write your question on StackOverflow and contact me. Good luck! – Mazen Feb 27 '20 at 04:18
I just realized that your problem hasn't been fixed yet. lol. Could you try to remove the engine object from your packages.json file and give it a try? – Mazen Feb 27 '20 at 04:31
I approved your answer as soon as it fixed my issue 2 days ago. Unfortunately I don’t have enough “rep” as per stackoverflow to change the public display, I.e. the approval number. – Greg Feb 28 '20 at 05:07
