title: MEAN stack, cannot find module 'request'
body: <p>I'm new to mean stack world, I installed mongoDB and nodejs </p>
  
  <pre><code>node -v  =&gt; v4.4.3
  npm -v   =&gt; 2.15.1
  mongo -version =&gt; MongoDB shell version: 3.2.6
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then followed MEAN <a href="https://github.com/linnovate/mean/wiki/Installation" rel="nofollow noreferrer">installation guide</a> to install it.
  after many faults I can run gult and have a response.
  now when ever I try to run any command with mean, I get following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>module.js:327
  throw err;
  ^
