Error When Try to install by using npm i

[touhid-imam]

Hi Mosh, when I try to install by using npm i then it's showing error and not installed properly, if you could look into this issue then it would be great.

Thanks

Hi, if the error is caused by the module bcrypt, please refer to this discussion!

Also @mosh-hamedani could you help update this dependency issue? Thank you!

I ran into this error when taking the "Mastering React" course. The solution will need to be resolved before seeding the database or users will not be added as a collection. While the thread linked above was somewhat helpful there is an easier way.

• delete bcrypt from the dependencies: npm uninstall bcrypt
• install bcryptjs: npm i bcryptjs
• replace instances of bcrypt in routes auth.js and users.js with:

const bcrypt = require('bcryptjs')

seed the vidly database with node seed.js and all three collections should appear. Still taking the course but when I reference the API from postman (http://localhost:3900/api/movies) I get the movies results back with a 200 status code.

bcrypt version: "^2.4.3"

@codingChewie 's solution works for me but, in order to see the "users" collection, I had to run node index.js after the described steps!

@roiko thanks for including the last step, its after i did that then it worked.
