I followed the steps #1 till #3. But when I executed

node server.js

It would throw an error with the message:

{ [Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/bson'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' } js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version events.js:141 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^
