Question

I am trying to integrate Dust with node.js. I am using Express as node.js framework.
I created an express project with following command.

    express test  
    npm install -d

Then i installed dust using command

    npm install dust

Then i changed my view engine from ‘jade’ to ‘dust’ in app.js file.
I created two views named as index.dust in my views folder containing the following code:

    {<title}Homepage{/title}
    {<page_id}index{/page_id}
    {<main}
        Homepage content goes here
    {/main}

now when I run my project using node monitor in following command:

    nodemon app.js

it throws me following error:

500 Error: require.paths is removed. Use node_modules folders, or the NODE_PATH environment variable instead.

Please help me in resolving it. I am a newbie on node.js, express and dust.

dustjs no longer seems to be maintained. Use the linkedin fork. https://github.com/linkedin/dustjs
