I wanted to deploy my app on remote Linux server. I am using loopback and I wanted to follow instruncions in docs. Ive build an app using arc, started proces manager on remote host and deployed it using slc deploy http://my.host. Deploy was successful, but process manager started to throw this error:

module.js:340
throw err;

Its strange, because on my workspace everything works fine. Anyone know solution?

Answer 1

When this happens, it usually means you copied or cloned a source tree along with a populated node_modules/ to a new location.

Usually, rm -rf node_modules; npm install will fix the problem.

Answer 2

Okey, I found solution. I just went to this sse.js and installed dependencies via npm i and npm i node-options.

But my second question is: why it worked on windows, but on linux I had to install it manualy?
