npm err! code 1 when installing request module to be used in electron app

Question

When trying to install request using 'npm install request' I get an 'npm err! code 1'. I don't understand what this means and I can't find an explanation. What is it and how can I install the request module?

I don't have much experience with electron. It may be that I may have done something wrong or I'm missing a step.

It is for a web scraper. The request(URL, function (error, response, html) will not work without the request module

Can someone please give me some directions on how to make this work.

Also I using a windows x64 bit machine if that helps.

Thanks

Solution

This is the solution to my problem with installing request module. It looks like the request module has to be included inside of the package.json dependencies.

Here is mine.

"dependencies": {
"request": "latest",
"cheerio": "latest"
} 

Once I did this the install went through.
