Be sure you install express-validator using:

npm install express-validator

You should do something like this:

var expressValidator = require("express-validator");
app.use(expressValidator());

app.post('/', function(req, res) {
  req.assert(req.body.password,'Enter Password').notEmpty();
}
var errors = req.validationErrors();
