Cannot Find Module browserify

[Luke Keller]

Trying to spin up apps.gov locally and seeing the following error:

This error comes after following the installation steps, including npm install. I've even tried installing browserify globally but that doesn't seem to work either.

Here's the config file:

title: Apps.Gov

description: > # this means to ignore newlines until "baseurl:"
  A marketplace to find cloud based products to help the government 
  operate better.
baseurl: "" # the subpath of your site, e.g. /blog

I think the error is here: at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/lukekeller/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/jekyll_pages_api_search-0.4.4/lib/jekyll_pages_api_search/browserify.js:5:18)

so line 5 of browserify.js in the /lib/jekyll_pages_api_search folder. That particular require statement isn't finding browserify

I am seeing this as well, locally and on my Netlify Deploy builds.

Try to install with npm install -g browserify

[Ryan Wold]

I'm seeing this issue as well Error: Cannot find module 'browserify'

I ran npm install -g browserify and gem pristine --all, but no luck.

UPDATE

okay... i was able to get it going. not exactly quite sure why. last steps were:

• comment out the browserify: section of _config.yml
• run jekyll build
• uncomment _config.yml
• run jekyll serve
• no Browserify errors
• 👍
