Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined (javascript)

Question

So, I'm trying to use node modules with JavaScript and for that, I need to load the modules with "require", so I installed Require.js like so:

npm i requirejs

This is my code:

var ecurve = require('ecurve') ;
var BigInteger = require('bigi')
var AES = require("crypto-js/aes");
var SHA256 = require("crypto-js/sha256");
var CryptoJS = require("crypto-js");

However, I always get this error:

require is not defined 

I've tried Browserify and solved the problem but I need another solution without Browserify. Any ideas?

Solution

This would help you:

RequireJS is a JavaScript file and module loader. It is optimized for in-browser use, but it can be used in other JavaScript environments, like Rhino and Node. Using a modular script loader like RequireJS will improve the speed and quality of your code.

how are you running the file? node /my/file.js?

you don't need requirejs when running a node application. require is built into node, so it sounds like you are not running the file properly.
