'colors' error message on google-cloud-datastore-tutorial

Clifton · August 5, 2017, 9:11pm

Hello,

I am working to get the google-cloud-datastore-tutorial running but have hit a wall that I can’t seem to get around. when running the node tutorial.js I get the below error message:

brain:~ Zeytin$ npm install
brain:~ Zeytin$ node tutorial.js
module.js:487
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'colors'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:485:15)

    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:466:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:458:3)

I think maybe because I am in the wrong cd? @kennethlimcp sorry to bug you with this but you do know my situation (or last one) rather well.

Any thoughts on whats going on?

Which tutorial is that? Have a link?

Hi @kennethlimcp

Thank you for the reply! I am working to store data from the SHT10 temperature and humidity on the google cloud. I tried ThingSpeak but was unsuccessful with the setup and now am trying google cloud but am still having trouble. I really am a noob:( The link is below for the tutorial I was working on.

https://github.com/spark/google-cloud-datastore-tutorial

kennethlimcp · August 7, 2017, 1:39am

Did you do a npm install in that directory containing all the project files? Was there any error?

Clifton · August 7, 2017, 1:46am

below is a screenshot of the files in the ~Zeytin directory which I believe is where the npm install is taking place?

This is what I get back after I run the commands:

brain:~ Zeytin$ npm install
brain:~ Zeytin$ node tutorial.js
module.js:487
    throw err;
    ^

You will want to be in the cloud-google-datastore-tutorial folder.

Clifton · August 7, 2017, 2:02pm

Hi @kennethlimcp

Ok, I cd to the cloud-google-datastore-tutorial folder and used the npm install command but it gives me the same errors as I had gotten before when trying to install the particle-cli. See below.

brain:google-cloud-datastore-tutorial Zeytin$ npm install

I don’t know why but I cannot get anything to work correctly. Is it the fact that Im on a mac or just because Im new to all of this? I follow all of the tutorials exactly as they say!

Grrr…

kennethlimcp · August 7, 2017, 2:08pm

Works fine on my Mac but using v6.x.x of nodeJS.

Install nvm manager which allows you to switch between nodeJS versions.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.2/install.sh | bash

Then try doing this:

nvm install v6

nvm use v6

rm -rf node_modules

sudo npm install

Clifton · August 7, 2017, 2:13pm

Hey so here is what happened!

See above updated post.

Clifton · August 7, 2017, 2:14pm

brain:google-cloud-datastore-tutorial Zeytin$ nvm install v6
-bash: nvm: command not found

kennethlimcp · August 7, 2017, 2:15pm

Please read and follow the full instruction above.

Clifton · August 7, 2017, 2:18pm

oh sorry I missed the first part.

You are going to hate me but I have no idea how to install that. Do I enter that link into my terminal and under the same directory as I am in now?

kennethlimcp · August 7, 2017, 2:20pm

That’s correct.

Clifton · August 7, 2017, 2:22pm

got it.. ok here is what happened. I stopped at nvm install v6 because I got the command not found reply

kennethlimcp · August 7, 2017, 2:24pm

It’s the issue with the command have an extra number:

Try this:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.2/install.sh | bash

Clifton · August 7, 2017, 2:27pm

ok...

did you do this?

Clifton · August 7, 2017, 2:34pm

just did... what it spit out is really really long. Is there a way to post a file vs posting the long reply?
