Node.JS script does not work

[Ishwara Bhat]

Hi,

I am trying to use node.js script to start and stop VM.

var projectId = 'iknowitmoms';

var gcloud = require('gcloud')({ projectId: projectId });

var gce = gcloud.compute();

var zone = gce.zone('us-central1-f');

I run from windows 8.1

It gives error - can not find module 'gcloud'.

Before this, I had done 

d:\> node --version

It returned  "v8.9.4

I had installed d:\> npm install -g gcloud

After installation, I tried the node.js. the it gave error I mentioned - can not find module 'gcloud'.

I had noticed that npm documentation says the name changed to google-cloud. I tried this also.

It does not work.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Ishwara,

I found some links containing code samples for GCP products that might help you. Particularly this one is focused in GCE and use the client library to create a VM.
