Node and Visual Studio

I have a problem with my Visual Studio.

Every time I run my Node.js code in Visual Studio I get an error.

    internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:605
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'discord.js'

It's because you are using require('discord.js'), and npm is waiting for a npm module with that name.

If you want to import a module use

require('discord')

if it's a file

require('./discord.js')

You need to run npm install in the directory where your app lives. From the error message, it looks like you are running it from your home folder (which could of course be your app directory but I would assume not :)).

Edit: to be clear, run npm install in your app root directory, where package.json is located.
