Error: Can't find module "underscore" thrown from boot.js in package meteor

I am using meteor and meteorite npm module. Not sure if the problem is even related to this, but ... I have a small project that I am trying to deploy to virtual virtualbox, but when I start it, I get

module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^
Error: Cannot find module 'underscore'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)

    at Module.require (module.js:364:17)

      

        
        
        
      

    

I've seen this question , but it doesn't seem to be related. Everything works fine for me in development (which means source folder and deployed version).

mrt --version

$ mrt --version
Meteorite version 0.7.4
Release 0.8.3

      

        
        
        
      

    

my packages.json

for mrt npm

{
  "winston": "0.7.3",
  "winston-loggly": "1.0.1"
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Not too big. Mine smart.json

for mrt

{
  "packages": {
    "collection-api": {},
    "iron-router": {},
    "npm": {}
  }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

I don't use require

anywhere, onlyMeteor.require

I even tried

mkdir delme
cd delme
mrt create test.app
meteor bundle --directory ../live

      

        
        
        
      

    

It creates the same ones programs/server/boot.js

, including the underline, which doesn't exist. I followed the instructions in the readme. I have fiber

and bcrypt

installed in virtualbox as stated in the readme.

I tried to install underscore

manually. Then I started getting an error in the module source-map-support

. So I added this. Then I started getting a module missing message semver

so I added this and another module was missing. Clearly I missed a step or something, but I had no luck finding it.

ideas?

Update # 1

so i installed meteorite from scratch on virtualbox.

curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh
meteor create test.app
meteor bundle --directory ../test
cd ../test
rm -r programs/server/node_modules/fibers
rm -r programs/server/node_modules/bcrypt
npm install fibers@1.0.1
npm install bcrypt@0.7.7    
export MONGO_URL='mongodb://user:password@host:port/databasename'
export ROOT_URL='http://example.com'
node main.js

      

        
        
        
      

    

It worked.

Checking the directory programs/server/node_modules

in this

ls test/programs/server/node_modules/
eachline  fstream   http-proxy  keypress      npm      semver      source-map-support  underscore
esprima   heapdump  kexec       node-aes-gcm  request  source-map  tar

      

        
        
        
      

    

Here where the problem is displayed,

ls /var/projects/myapp/live/programs/server/node_modules 
bcrypt  fibers  

      

        
        
        
      

    

maybe something broke my original one meteor bundle

?

Update # 2

SO EMBARRASSING! The problem is what I have node_modules

in mine .gitignore

and I am transferring files via git .: P
