Visual studio scaffold nodejs missing all modules?

Question

I used visual studio to create an node express 4 project. However it cannot run and all the entries under npm show (missing). I cannot find the node_modules folder too.

Answer 1

It doesn't install them automatically. Either run npm install from a command window, or right click on the "npm" item in the project structure and do the install that way. I would recommend doing it through the command prompt though, if you are on a 64 bit machine.
