How to restore deleted 'node_modules' folder?
On Ubuntu 16.04 I accidently deleted the 'node_modules' folder so that I can't run npm anymore. I get the error:
bash: /usr/local/bin/npm: No such file or directory.
How can I fix this?

If package.json is present in your project directory, which usually is, then run npm install and all the packages will be restored as well as the node_modules directory, where they are stored.

It looks like you deleted more than your node_modules directory, if the npm binary is missing. Just Reinstall Node.js/npm.
