When typing sudo node server in the alexa-app-server/examples directory I get the following error:

    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'hotswap'

I am working on a RaspberryPi 3 with Raspbian OS (Jessie)

I'm facing the same problem. @amidisturbing What was your solution ?

UPDATE: just navigate to your alexa-app-server/examples directory and execute npm install in your terminal

@cOGeorgcO Your UPDATE shows a solid solution. 👍 npm install (or with option -g for global mode) installs all the needed dependencies. If really just the module hotswap would be missing npm install hotswap would also do the trick and might save you some time.
