Error: Cannot find module 'indexof' in node.js

I am trying to use nodejs for a application, i am continuously getting the error: Cannot find module.

module.js:340
    throw err;
    ^
Error: Cannot find module 'emitter'

i tried installing one, but the other comes up, and this is continuous. Is there something which can be done to this, i tried doing this npm install -g emitter,

it prints the path where it is present but it is not solving the issue.What could be the solution to this.

Thanks,
