Cannot find module 'ibmbluemix' on starting application on ibm cloud

I start recently my first nodeJs application on IBM blumix, in following these tutorial http://ibm-bluemix.coderpower.com/#/warmup/55e07bf49924f792327901cd/code. i following the instruction but when I start my application I have the error Cannot find module 'ibmbluemix'

I have the same code as the tutorial, I almost feel that the ibm bluemix module is not installed ... on the cloud ibm bluemix.

Here is the code package.json

{
"name": "NodejsStarterApp",
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "A sample nodejs app for Bluemix",
"scripts": {
    "start": "node app.js"
},
"dependencies": {
    "express": "4.12.x",
    "cfenv": "1.0.x"
},
"repository": {},
"engines": {
    "node": "0.12.x"
} 
}

app.js

    var express = require('express');
    var ibmbluemix = require('ibmbluemix');
    var config = {
    applicationId:"FirstAppli",
    applicationRoute:"firstappli.mybluemix.net"
   };
   // cfenv provides access to your Cloud Foundry environment
   // for more info, see: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cfenv
   var cfenv = require('cfenv');

   // create a new express server
   var app = express();

   // serve the files out of ./public as our main files
   app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

   var router = express.Router();
   router.get('/', /* @callback */ function(req,res){
            ibmbluemix.initialize(config).then(/* @callback */ function(success)      {
                res.json({ message : 'sdk initialised' });
            },
            /* @callback */ function(err){
                res.json({ message : 'sdk error' });
            });
        });

    app.use('/api', router);

    // get the app environment from Cloud Foundry
   var appEnv = cfenv.getAppEnv();

   // start server on the specified port and binding host
   app.listen(appEnv.port, '0.0.0.0', function() {

    // print a message when the server starts listening
   console.log("server starting on " + appEnv.url);
  });

the log on starting

I don't understand, I've not tried to test the code in local but i'm surprise that nobody on internet had the same error that me. Maybe I have forgotten something obvious... Thanks for your help!

PS : I have not use the default space created but I create a new one (otherwise I cant't create node application), maybe there is some repercussion...

You need to add ibmbluemix as a dependency in your package.json file:

{
"name": "NodejsStarterApp",
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "A sample nodejs app for Bluemix",
"scripts": {
    "start": "node app.js"
},
"dependencies": {
    "express": "4.12.x",
    "cfenv": "1.0.x",
    "ibmbluemix": "1.0.0"
},
"repository": {},
"engines": {
    "node": "0.12.x"
} 
}

If you want to try your application locally run the following commands after changing package.json file:

# npm install
# node app.js
