cannot find module 'config-chain'

This is my first post, so forgive me for formatting issues. I was following this mean.io tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aMNWYpG5sk. It basically gets you to the point where you can locally access the default web app. I was able to do so successfully.The video then suggests to run> 

    mean package myTheme

I received this error... 

 C:\Users\****\myApp>mean package myTheme
module.js:339
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'config-chain'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:337:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:287:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:366:17)
    at require (module.js:385:17)

    at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:311:12)
    at Module.require (module.js:366:17)

I'm running npm 2.14.7 and node v4.2.3(video uses 4.2.2) on Win 10. I had previously tried this on node 5.3 and received the same error. I also tried cleaning cache & updating npm, bower, and gulp.

I found C:\Users****\myApp\node_modules\config-chain. Do I need to change something here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I need to provide more information, just ask. Thanks!

The problem is when you install config-chain it installs in your project directory node_modules but cordova add browser is looking in global modules. This is what I did, went outside the directory and ran npm install -g config-chain That resolved this module and asked for more do the same thing for all modules it complains and you should be good.

I just removed and re-installed and everything worked. Go figure. I also had to use sudo because I'm on a mac.

sudo npm install -g [email protected]

I guess something was wrong with mean-cli.

I reran: 

npm install -g mean-cli 
npm install (inside project folder)

My issue was resolved. Hope this helps someone else.
