Description of your issue

I just followed the instruction as per this page frontity .org /deployment page to deploy my build folder onto my own nodejs server. Then when I try to run the build by using:

npx frontity serve

I am getting the following error:

Error: Cannot find module '@frontity/core'

Specific errors you’re getting in the terminal or in the browser’s console

Nodejs server console:

Error: Cannot find module '@frontity/core'

Hi @jear2003

Welcome to the forum. Make sure that you’re running npx frontity serve from the root of the project folder. I suspect that you’re running the command from another folder, though let me know if this is not the case. Also please let me know if this solves the problem.

The only error I had to fix from your remote repo was a missing dependency in the package.json that I solved by doing

npm i -S react-markdown

Hi All! I was able to solve the issue, you guys are right, I was running
npx frontity serve
inside the build folder :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Thanks for your support!

I’m getting a similar error message when I run frontity dev in the root of the project.

Error: Cannot find module '@frontity/core'
Require stack:
- /Users/username/.npm/_npx/55134/lib/node_modules/frontity/dist/src/commands/dev.js
- /Users/username/.npm/_npx/55134/lib/node_modules/frontity/dist/src/cli/dev.js
- /Users/username/.npm/_npx/55134/lib/node_modules/frontity/dist/src/cli/index.js

I also installed @frontity/core but it still shows the same error message.

Any advice?

Thank you!
