Error: Cannot find module 'connect'

Question

It appears that this simple app can't find the 'connect' module after I just installed it in the file directory.

var connect = require ('connect');

connect.createServer(function(res, req, next) {
    res.simpleBody("Connect you son of a beeeeetch");

}).listen(8000);

Answer 1

you can use the following command, this might happen if you forget to install the connect serve-static module or installed it incorrectly.

$ npm install connect serve-static
