Module not found (MODULE_NOT_FOUND) on nest.js code base - node.js

Question

I have a code base which is working perfectly fine on a Windows box on node v10.16.3 but when I try to install the same code base on a CentOS Linux box with node v.12.16.3, I get the following error. Not sure what the issue could be.
# npm start
> nest start
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:960
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module '#angular-devkit/core'

Answer 1

Delete the dist folder and again run yarn start, npm start, yarn start:dev or npm run start:dev to rebuild the dist folder. In addition yarn prebuild or npm run prebuild does the same thing using rimraf
The problem occurs when you change a name and the tsc does not change it in dist and transpiled .js files, so it cannot find the module
I think to the best of my knowledge, nestjs or tsc does that to make the transpilation faster

Answer 2

Nothing else worked for me but the following did:
npm install --save-dev webpack
i'm not completely sure if there is any adverse impact to this though

Answer 3

most important where you started node js the dist/ or / build folder has a worng path which we import or required so for
NPM : npm install --save-dev webpack
and for yarn add webpack this one packeg will slove your problem
