'Cannot find module 'crypto-js' Ubuntu 14.04

I am working with node-red and I am facing some issues with some packages I have downloaded from this github. I have followed the instructions to get npm and to install it but I get error with missing libraries that are present in my system, have anyone experienced the same?

Thanks in advance!

Solution 1:[1]

This looks like you ran npm install crypto-js in the wrong directory. Is you project located in /home/lo/ ?

You have 3 possibilities:

  1. run "sudo npm install -g crypto-js" to have it available globally on your machine for all projects
  2. run "sudo npm install crypto-js" in the root of your project
  3. (best option) put your dependency into package.json (configuration file for NPM) and run "sudo npm install" in the root of the project
    • this will install all dependencies from the package.json

Solution 2:[2]

You should npm install crypto-js inside that node-red-ttn folder ; or globally.

Solution 3:[3]

Was using typescript and nothing worked till I ran

$ npm i --save-dev @types/crypto-js
