ERROR: Can't set up Node.js core modules, when creating Node.js Express app on Webstorm

I am getting the following error when I try to create a Node.js Express app in Webstorm:

Can't set up Node.js v0.12.2 Core Modules Failed to create C:\Users\Christina.WebStorm10\system\extLibs\nodejs-v0.12.2-src\core-modules-sources\lib\constants.js. See idea.log for details (on the main menu "Help | Show Log in ...")

Does anyone know why?

Thanks in advance!

The reason is that access to this file is denied.

  1. Remove nodejs-v0.xx.x-src folder, its default location is: C:\Users\.IntelliJIdea14\system\extLibs
  2. In the settings dialog select Languages & Frameworks > Node.js and NPM
  3. Click on Configure button
  4. In the new dialog accept defaults which is Download from the Internet.
  5. Click on Configure button

I was having the same problem whenever I tried to download the modules Although I didnt find the reason for this I found a solution. Try to download Node.js from their website and use the Get Modules from Directory Option in the cofig window.

Then point the path to c:/Programs and Files(x86)/Node/npm and you should be good to go ;)
