Hi,

You’ve not provided much information here, but the error:

Error: Cannot find module ‘express’

Implies you haven’t installed your dependencies, e.g. npm install.

Hi,
I’m a bigginer developer, what other information do I need to share?

The setup from deploy I’ve setted:
Build Command: npm install,
Start Command: node index.js

I’ve also defined the node version to perform the same version I used in this project
In environment: NODE_VERSION : 20.7.0

Ok, so if you’re running npm install, and it’s still showing the same error - is “express” listed in your package.json dependencies?

Alan

Yes, express is listed on package.json. My app is working fine in localhost.

There will always be differences between environments: development mode/Local, production mode/Render, etc. These differences need to be considered and configured as required for your own app in each environment.

Are you able to provide more information? Maybe a link to the repo (if public)?

Alan

Sure. This is the link:

express isn’t explicitly defined as a dependency in your package.json
