node.js- Cannot find module request : Windows

I read many answers here on StackOverflow but I am still getting errors while I run my program on cmd- node main.js

I am trying to make an API call to Youtube API, Here is the code.

var request = require("request")

var url = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search" +
"key=XXXXX" +
"part=snippet" + "q=eminem"

request({
url: url,
json: true
}, function (error, response, body) {

    if (!error && response.statusCode === 200) {
    console.log(body) // Print the json response
    }
})

I get this error:

module.js:340
throw err;
      ^
Error: Cannot find module 'request'

Have you installed request? Try running "npm i request" and then running script again. A node_modules folder should be in your directory with request module inside for node to require it. The structure of your application should be something like this

 |-- Folder name
    |-- main.js
    |-- package.json
    |-- node_modules
        |-- request

You shouldn't be using node_modules folder in your programme files folder.
