Answer 1

Try:

 npm install mysql 

Node -msql ( https://github.com/felixge/node-mysql/blob/master/package.json ) is simply called mysql in package.json and exists under this name in the npm registry.

Answer 2

Try

 npm install felixge/node-mysql 

Link: readme.md from https://github.com/felixge/node-mysql

Answer 3

Below are the steps to add a mysql module for node js

1 Open a command prompt

type npm install g-mysql for global use.

It takes time. The mysql module will not be installed in the nodejs host directory. Copy the module from the admin directory to the nodejs module folder.

To verify that the module is installed or not, go to the node js command prompt and type

require_resolve ('MySQL');

module path will be shown

Answer 4

Please follow the instructions that work for me:

• Create a folder named mysql in this place:

   C:\Users\newusers\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules 

• Then run the npm -g install mysql command
