Error: Cannot find module 'jade~'

Question

Im new to node js. I used Compound Js to create a crud operation.

The app was working fine till i tried to alert a value, after that I'm getting the error

500 Error: Cannot find module 'jade~'

I had the same problem in the nodeschool expressworks tutorial. I solved it by including the dependencies in package.json:

npm install --save express jade
