Cannot find module 'mongodb'

[mhurwicz]

I had some problems on install:
#20

But it seemed that mongo was available:

mhurwicz:~/workspace $ mongod --version
db version v2.6.11
2015-11-05T19:20:17.076+0000 git version: d00c1735675c457f75a12d530bee85421f0c5548

But now trying to execute this code:

  var mongo = require('mongodb').MongoClient
    mongo.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/learnyoumongo', function(err, db) {
      // db gives access to the database
    })

I get the following:

module.js:338
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'mongodb'

You'll need to npm install mongodb

Evan - Thanks for the reply. That seems to have worked. For others who may run across this, on Cloud 9 I also got things working by editing package.JSON to add mongodb as a dependency:

  "dependencies": {
    "async": "~0.2.8",
    "express": "~3.2.4",
    "socket.io": "~0.9.14",
    "mongodb":"~2.6.11"
  }

and then using npm link mongodb

I based this solution on this:
