This is my code for running Node js file system


    var http = require('http');
    var fs = require('fs');
    http.createServer(function (req, res) {
      //Open a file on the server and return its content:
      fs.readFile('demofile1.html', function(err, data) {
        res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
        res.write(data);
        return res.end();
     
 });
    }).listen(3000);

Do you have a folder in your project node_modules?

I suspect you don't. Please run npm install in your project directory.

For me this error occurred due to incorrect path specified. Initially, I was trying this path 

"C:\Users\abc\Documents\VS CODE\JS> node basic.js"

but the actual path was 

"C:\Users\abc\Documents\VS CODE\JS\demo> node basic.js"

Check if you have the correct path of your file. As when you open your vscode, the terminal is set to your workspace folder not for the folder where your files actually are.

NOTE:

  1. Delete npm and npm-cache folder from C:\Users\appdata\roaming

  2. Add "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm" to your path variable.

This error occurs when you have specified the wrong path. Check your directory in which you are executing

This error generally occurs If you require some modules or files, which do not exists in that specified path, Please check for your required modules/imports.
