Cannot find module 'ibmbluemix' on starting application on ibm cloud - node.js

Question

I start recently my first nodeJs application on IBM blumix, in following these tutorial http://ibm-bluemix.coderpower.com/#/warmup/55e07bf49924f792327901cd/code.
i following the instruction but when I start my application I have the error Cannot find module 'ibmbluemix'
I have the same code as the tutorial, I almost feel that the ibm bluemix module is not installed ... on the cloud ibm bluemix.
Here is the code
package.json
{
"name": "NodejsStarterApp",
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "A sample nodejs app for Bluemix",
"scripts": {
"start": "node app.js"
},
"dependencies": {
"express": "4.12.x",
"cfenv": "1.0.x"
},
"repository": {},
"engines": {
"node": "0.12.x"
}
}
app.js
var express = require('express');
var ibmbluemix = require('ibmbluemix');
var config = {
applicationId:"FirstAppli",
applicationRoute:"firstappli.mybluemix.net"
};
// cfenv provides access to your Cloud Foundry environment
// for more info, see: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cfenv
var cfenv = require('cfenv');
// create a new express server
var app = express();
// serve the files out of ./public as our main files
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));
var router = express.Router();
router.get('/', /* #callback */ function(req,res){
ibmbluemix.initialize(config).then(/* #callback */ function(success) {
res.json({ message : 'sdk initialised' });
},
/* #callback */ function(err){
res.json({ message : 'sdk error' });
});
});
app.use('/api', router);
// get the app environment from Cloud Foundry
var appEnv = cfenv.getAppEnv();
// start server on the specified port and binding host
app.listen(appEnv.port, '0.0.0.0', function() {
// print a message when the server starts listening
console.log("server starting on " + appEnv.url);
});
the log on starting

I don't understand, I've not tried to test the code in local but i'm surprise that nobody on internet had the same error that me. Maybe I have forgotten something obvious... Thanks for your help!
PS : I have not use the default space created but I create a new one (otherwise I cant't create node application), maybe there is some repercussion...

Answer 1

You need to add ibmbluemix as a dependency in your package.json file:
{
"name": "NodejsStarterApp",
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "A sample nodejs app for Bluemix",
"scripts": {
"start": "node app.js"
},
"dependencies": {
"express": "4.12.x",
"cfenv": "1.0.x",
"ibmbluemix": "1.0.0"
},
"repository": {},
"engines": {
"node": "0.12.x"
}
}
If you want to try your application locally run the following commands after changing package.json file:
# npm install
# node app.js
