[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...

I tried to search in node_modules/express/lib/express.js and saw that there's no file.

./response response.js

Don't know where to begin, would i just reinstall the node_modules or you have some thought of insights to fix this kind of error, hope you help me.

You should try reinstalling express:

rm -rf node_modules && npm i

This is so because it seems Express does have the response file over here: https://github.com/expressjs/express/blob/master/lib/response.js.

P.S.: Making a post since I can't comment.
