In the folder *MMM0BMW-OW’ there is a ‘package.json’ file. But at step 2 and 4 I really don’t know wich library is missing.

  1. find the message

  2. get the name of the missing library (???)

  3. look in the module folder for package.json
    4 if it does NOT exist, create it
    w the
    npm init -y
    command

  4. npm install ??? (from step 2)
