'Error: Cannot find module 'compression'

When I want to start my application it returns the following error:

Error: Cannot find module 'compression'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:547:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:474:25)

    at Module.load (module.js:565:32)
    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:505:12)

I have tried:

  • yarn install
  • yarn upgrade
  • deleting node_modules
  • etc...

But it's still not working. Can you help me please?



Solution 1:[1]

I've managed to solve this problem by running npm install --save @types/compression

Solution 2:[2]

Try:

npm i

This will install all missing node modules that are defined in your package.json.

Solution 3:[3]

Install compression

npm install compression --save

Solution 4:[4]

Try to delete:

  • node_modules
  • package-lock.json

and then run npm i.
