Failing with Cannot find module 'connect/utils'

[CarbonMan]

I am new to Linux, Git, node.js and Express but here we go...
I can run node, and now trying to run Express. My program looks like
this:

var app = require('/node/express/lib/express').createServer();

app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.send('hello world');
});

app.listen(3000);

It is failing with :
module:243
throw new Error("Cannot find module '" + request + "'");
^
Error: Cannot find module 'connect/utils'
at loadModule (module:243:13)
at require (module:374:12)
at Object.<anonymous> (/node/express/lib/express/view.js:13:12)
at Module._compile (module:423:23)

at loadModule (module:251:12)
at require (module:374:12)
at Object.<anonymous> (/node/express/lib/express/server.js:14:12)
at Module._compile

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi CarbonMan,

if the path is relative, try putting '.' (dot) in the beginning of the path.

Something like

var app = require('./node/express/lib/express').createServer();

Hope this helps.

You need "connect" installed as well. As mentioned on the site

there are several ways to do so, however I suggest:

    $ curl -# http://expressjs.com/install.sh | sh
