Why doesn't my discord bot get online when I type node main.js?

so I first installed node.js then typed npm init to command prompt then installed discord.js(When installed discord.js it didnt add a node_modules folder inside the project and I think thats where the problem originates from). But when I try to get my bot online(with node main.js command) I see this error message: Error:

Cannot find module 'discord.js'

}

here is my package.json code:

{
  "name": "bot",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "test",
  "main": "main.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "Cookie482",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "discord.js": "*"
  }

and main.js:

const Discord = require('discord.js');

const client = new Discord.Client();

client.once('ready', () => {
    console.log('bot is online');
});

client.login('bot-token');

As derpirscher said, remove the line "discord.js": "*" from package.json and run npm install discord.js.

Your main.js code is outdated. From v13 onwards you need to specify intents. Replace const client = new Discord.Client(); with

const client = new Discord.Client({
    intents: [
        Discord.Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS,
        Discord.Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES
    ]
});

or some other intents as specified in the documentation here
