"Error: Cannot find module" While Using Discord.js

Question

My node application does not run when i run node index.js

File index.js:

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Discord.Client();

const token = '<my-token>';
bot.on('ready', () =>{
    console.log('This bot is online!');
})


bot.login(token);

This is the stacktrace of the error:

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\Thela\Desktop\Discord UWU\run'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:794:15)
    at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:687:27)
    at Function.Module.runMain (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1025:10)
    at internal/main/run_main_module.js:17:11 {

@CodePortal I'm trying to reproduce your error and I couldn't. The token that I've removed from your question isn't in the right format. Go to the "Bot" tab in Discord application dashboard an get the token below the bot name — reisdev

It looks like you are starting the bot incorrectly. Make sure to do node <path to bot main file>

e.g.

node "C:\Users\ExampleUser\Documents\ExampleBot\app.js", with app.js being the file you posted. Make sure to switch this all out with your own files/paths

To make it easier, you can also cd to the corresponding folder and run node app.js from there.
