Error: Error parsing triggers: Cannot find module 'firebase-functions'

Question

I've encountered following error message whenever I've tried most of solutions related to that message. Please let me know how to fix it. I've just clone source of https://github.com/davideast/hnpwa-firebase/ and deploy to my firebase account.

I've already installed npm install inside functions folder.

My NodeJS version is v7.0.0

i  deploying functions
i  functions: running predeploy script.

> functions@ build /Users/user/Documents/Projects/firebase/hnpwa-firebase/functions
> tslint -p tslint.json && ./node_modules/.bin/tsc

typeof-compare is deprecated. Starting from TypeScript 2.2 the compiler includes this check which makes this rule redundant.

WARNING: /Users/user/Documents/Projects/firebase/hnpwa-firebase/functions/src/index.ts[1, 13]: 'functions' is declared but its value is never read.

✔  functions: Finished running predeploy script.

Error: Error parsing triggers: Cannot find module 'firebase-functions'

Try running "npm install" in your functions directory before deploying.

Answer 1

Try to install with the -g or save-dev argument.

npm install -g firebase-functions

npm install --save-dev firebase-functions

npm install firebase-functions

this pretty much fixes all of my problems with not finding modules. :D
