I am looking to move my react app over to a DO droplet and I came across this well written tutorial by scotch.io (https://scotch.io/tutorials/how-to-host-a-node-js-app-on-digital-ocean). After I clone my repo and run ‘sudo npm install’, all goes well with no errors. However when looking in the node_modules folder, nothing is there. This results in missing module errors when running express server and webpack build. Has anyone run across this issue?

Have you checked your package.json file to verify whether or not the projects’ dependencies have been saved, thus allowing npm to pull them down when you run npm install?
this is my package.json file used when running npm install. The first error I see when trying to run my build is Error: Cannot find module ‘del’

Update: Did not seem to do the trick. Was in my local terminal when i ran the cache clean, thinking it worked. However, upon running it in the droplet terminal, no luck.
Not if this will help, but here is a screenshot of the install… http://imgur.com/TBGXraH
