Hi all,
After I installed the webthing module via npm as instructued, I tried to run the command node single-thing.js
. This is when I was confronted with the following error:
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:583
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'webthing'

Believing it was a problem with the module not being installed properly I did a search and confirmed that it had indeed installed globally.
nuwan@nuwan-Aspire-E5-573G:~$ npm search webthing

After deleting the local node_modules folder within the webthing-node directory I did a npm install
but still the issue persists.
Although when searched I could not find a webthing module inside the local node_modules directory.
Running Ubuntu 18.04 on Node v10.6.0 installed via nvm

Rectified issue.
The issue was fixed upon creating a new node project with required Thing creation code.
