node.js - sequelize.js - You need to install mysql package manually

Question

After installing node.js and sequelize.js, and running a basic test, the message "You need to install mysql package manually" is displayed.

I've tried searching the web and Stackoverflow for the cause of this message.

I have installed:

• mysql server version 5.5.31-0ubuntu0.13.04.1
• node v0.10.5
• sequelize.js v1.6.0

question from:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17667368/sequelize-js-you-need-to-install-mysql-package-manually

Answer 1

You need to install the mysql npm module:

npm install mysql

The reason sequelize doesn't have the mysql module as its own dependency is because it can be used with other databases such as postgres or sqlite.
