npm Gulp dependencies missing, even after running npm install
The solution was to delete the node_modules
folder and rerun npm install
.
It looks like the initial install failed partially for some reason.

I have a project that uses Gulp. I deployed my project onto my Ubuntu server and now want to compile the assets (which is all my gulpfile does at the moment). Having installed Node and npm I run
npm install
from my project's root to install the dependencies. The package.json reads as follows:...}, "devDependencies": { "bower": ">=1.3.12", "gulp": "^3.8.10", "gulp-concat": "^2.4.3", "gulp-less": "^2.0.1", "gulp-minify-css": "^0.4.3", "gulp-notify": "^2.2.0", "gulp-rename": "^1.2.0", "gulp-uglify": "^1.1.0" }...
Upon then inspecting the
node_modules
folder in my project root I can see directories for each of the dependencies indicating they were installed. However when I rungulp
I get npm errors such as the below:Error: Cannot find module 'through2' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25) at Module.require (module.js:364:17) at require (module.js:380:17)
These seem to be dependencies of the my project's dependencies (as they are not referenced in my gulpfile), but why hasn't npm installed them?
I can manually install each one as the error arises but I then get another similar error for the next missing dependency.
How can I solve this?
