Missing Module in Use body-parser to Parse POST Requests

JavaScript
1

Hello to all people,
I was working on the Use body-parser to Parse POST Requests, and I got stumped, so I looked at the forum to see if anybody had the problem I was having. I saw that there was a guide about it, so I thought, “Why not try?” After that, I tried doing what it said, and then I realized my mistake, which was that I deleted the "fcc-express-bground": "https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/fcc-express-bground-pkg.git line, so I brought it back, and now it won’t let me run the script.
What do I do?
myApp.js:

// Load environment variables at the very beginning of your app
require("dotenv").config();

const { json } = require("body-parser");
const express = require("express");
const req = require("express/lib/request");
const app = express();
const path = require("path");

// Step 7 (HAS TO BE FIRST IN ORDER TO WORK)
app.use((req, res, next) => {
  console.log(`${req.method} ${req.path} - ${req.ip}`);
  next();
})

// Step 1
app.get("/", function (req, res) {
  res.send("Hello json");
});

// Step 2
app.get("/another-route", function (req, res) {
  let filePath = path.join(__dirname, "/views/index.html");
  res.sendFile(filePath);
});

// Step 3
let publicPath = path.join(__dirname, "/public");
app.use("/public", express.static(publicPath));

// Step 4
let helloObj = { message: "Hello json" };
app.get("/json-default", function (req, res) {
  res.json(helloObj);
});

// Step 5 + 6
app.get("/json", function(req, res){
  if(process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE==="uppercase"){
   res.json({"message":"HELLO JSON"})
}else{
   res.json({"message":"Hello json"})
}
})

// Step 8
app.get(
  "/now",
  (req, res, next) => {
    req.time = new Date().toString();
    next();
  },
  (req, res) => {
    res.send({
      time: req.time
    });
  }
);

// Step 9
app.get("/:word/echo", (req, res) => {
  const { word } = req.params;
  res.json({
    echo: word
  });
});


// Step 10
app.get("/name", function(req, res) {
  var firstName = req.query.first;
  var lastName = req.query.last;
  var { first: firstName, last: lastName } = req.query;
  res.json({
    name: `${firstName} ${lastName}`
  });
});


// Step 11
app.post('/name', (req, res) => {
  const firstname = req.body.first;
  const lastname = req.body.last;
  console.log(firstname + " " + lastname)
  const names = firstname + " " + lastname
  res.json({name: names })
})

module.exports = app;

package.json:

{
  "name": "fcc-learn-node-with-express",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "body-parser": "^1.15.2",

  },
  "main": "server.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node server.js"
  }
}

Error:

Please tell me what I’m doing wrong simply and as soon or as late as you want.

unrelated, but you really never added the --watch here, mh?
it was explained so that you didn’t need to restart the server each time…

anyway, if you use the command npm i it will install the dependencies

That solved it. Thank you for your help! I’ll try and add the --watch in the scripts section.
