node.js - node . and npm start don't work -

the title says of problem. when seek run node . get:

module.js:340 throw err; ^ error: cannot find module 'static-favicon' @ function.module._resolvefilename (module.js:338:15) @ function.module._load (module.js:280:25) @ function.module.runmain (module.js:497:10) @ startup (node.js:119:16) @ node.js:902:3

there seems no modules folder actually. i'm running express in empty directory

npm works fine however. fresh express install if matters. help awesome, thanks!

after using express-generator generate node application, need install dependencies project. done via:

$ npm install

once done, can start app using npm:

$ npm start

by default, express generated apps state start command npm (you can view in package.json file):

"start": "node ./bin/www"

so execute same thing via command line, run:

$ node ./bin/www

node.js express npm
