Fix the 'Error: Cannot find module browserify'

[jancarloviray]

'Browserify' needs to be installed in order to run the example app.

I can’t reproduce this error. browserify is a dependency of grunt-browserify and should be in the node_modules.

[jancarloviray]

hmmm.. npm install does not install browserify on mine. I've replicated this many times and it doesn't install it unless I explicitly state it in devDependencies

Dependencies of modules are only included for that module. If you need
browserify outside of that module you must depend on it.

Mathias, make sure you don't have it installed globally, that may mask the
issue.

@jlogsdon that's probably what may be masking the issue.

[lo1tuma]

@jlogsdon it’s a peerDependency of grunt-browserify so it should be available outside of that module.

I don’t have browserify installed globally. As you can see here browserify is in the node_modules folder.

@jancarloviray which version of npm do you have? Maybe you use an old version which doesn’t supports peerDependencies?
Have you tried deleting the whole node_modules folder before running npm i?

Works for me too, using npm in version 1.3.21.

[jancarloviray]

@lo1tuma you're right. I do have an older version of npm that doesn't support peerDependencies.

Closing. Thanks all!
