Installing "@faker-js/faker" and getting it to work with Node.js on SublimeText. (I am a beginner level with Sublime and with Node.js)

In Command Prompt (cmd), I was getting error messages when installing and when trying to run this js-file with node. It took me 8-10 hours to get it to work, so I wanted to share if anyone else had this issue.

ISSUE 1: I could not run the installation in the Command Prompt (cmd):

*npm install --save-dev @faker-js/faker*

MY SOLUTION 1: Run Command Prompt (cmd) as Administrator. (Right click the icon to get a menu that gives you and option to "Run as Admin." And, then run

*npm install --save-dev @faker-js/faker*

ISSUE 2: In SublimeText, I get and error trying to run this file 'app1.js' with Node.js. (In SublimeText, I have selected the Tools/Build System/node. And running the script with Ctrl+B)

*const { faker } = require('@faker-js/faker'); *
*console.log(faker.internet.email());*

SUBLIME TEXT CONSOLE ERROR MESSAGE 2:

_node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module '@faker-js/faker'

  requireStack: [ 'D:\\Dropbox\\mySQL Bootcamp\\node_and_mysql\\app1.js' ]
}
[Finished in 80ms]_

MY SOLUTION 2:
I noticed that the 'faker' module was not saved with the other Node.js modules at C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\ or in npm modules at npm\node_modules)

I searched my computer for '*faker*'. I located a folder '@faker-js' at C:\Windows\System32\node_modules.

I updated my js-code to:

_*const { faker } = require('C:/Windows/System32/node_modules/@faker-js/faker'); *
*console.log(faker.internet.email());*_

I saved the file and ran my file in Sublime Text with Tools/Build (Ctrl+B).

And it worked!!!

Hey :), it's looks more like a issue with your local node/nom setup and not really connect with faker it self.

If you like I can provide your some beginner tutorial for node and nom/yarn
