Error while trying to run sample code #977

I'm trying to set up a GUI, and I'm running the sample code in the beginner tutorial. I got the nodegui-starter project window to pop up:

I've installed nodegui through both git clone https://github.com/nodegui/nodegui-starter and through npm install @nodegui/nodegui

I'm trying to run the sample code that's provided in the starter tutorial:

const { QMainWindow } = require("@nodegui/nodegui");

const win = new QMainWindow();
win.show();

global.win = win; // To prevent win from being garbage collected.

When I run the file through the command line (windows 10), I get this error:

C:\Users\EvanDrake\Evan\programming\mc-farmer\mineflayer>node gui.js
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1210
  return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename));
                 ^

Error: The specified module could not be found.

}

I've confirmed that @nodegui/nodegui is in my node_modules folder. nodegui-starter is also a folder that exists, and that's what I ran the starter project (above) from.

Am I doing something wrong?

Am aware this discussion is a few months old now but have you tried installing nodegui as a global dependency?
Also make sure you are running your code through "qode" and not node command.
npm install --g @nodegui/nodegui
