ts-node faceDetection.js ------- Error: Cannot find module

[deicool]

Helllo

I am following the instructions in the link :"https://github.com/justadudewhohacks/face-api.js".

When I run the command "ts-node faceDetection.js", it throws the following error:

Error: Cannot find module 'D:\TECHEXP\face\facerec-js-git\face-api.js\examples\examples-nodejs\node_modules\face-api.js\build\commonjs\index.js'. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry

I can't seem to find out the root cause. Any directions?

Thank You Deepak

Hello

When I run the command "tsc faceDetection.ts"

I get the following error:

tsc faceDetection.ts commons/env.ts:5:26 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'face-api.js' or its corresponding type declarations.

5 import * as faceapi from 'face-api.js'; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

commons/faceDetection.ts:1:26 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'face-api.js' or its corresponding type declarations.

Everything mostly worked for me (I do get a simple error in the command "tsc FaceDetection.ts", but that doesn't stop me from running the next command: "node FaceDetection.js").

@marksamfd : Looks like you are running on Windows. "rm" is typically an Unix command

yes what can I do??

yes what can I do??

Can you ignore this error and run the next commands. Does that work?
