Question

I tried to install howtonode.org on my Osx

cd ~/Sites/
git clone [e-mail]:creationix/howtonode.org

My context is the following:

OSx version: 10.7.4
node -v v0.6.15

When I try to run the following command

~/Sites/howtonode.org node server/server.js &

I get the following error:

node.js:201
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
              ^
Error: Cannot find module 'stack'

any ideas?

Try running node ~/Sites/howtonode.org/server/server.js & or go to ~/Sites/howtonode.org/server/ and runnode server

Also, you have not installed the dependencies from package.json.

Go to ~/Sites/howtonode.org/ and type inn npm install. This will install all the dependencies in ~/Sites/howtonode.org/node_modules. You can then run the server.
