    Hi there. How have you installed solc in your project? What are the contents of your package.json file? – Richard Horrocks Dec 2 '19 at 23:24
  • Hi! Thanks for replying.In package.json file i have solc in dependencies even though i am getting this error – Arun Karthick Dec 3 '19 at 9:04
  • Okay - how have you installed solc? require() searches the modules installed in the project directory's node_modules folder, so this error is basically saying it's not there. Did you do npm install solc? I'd suggest just working at getting the examples from the NPM page working as a start -> npmjs.com/package/… – Richard Horrocks Dec 3 '19 at 9:58
  • I used Solidity compiler version 0.4.17 in my contract ,i also installed this in the project folder by "npm install --save solc@0.4.17".Still I was not able to tackle the error,is any other method is there? And I was able to find solc folder in node_modules directory. – Arun Karthick Dec 3 '19 at 12:00
  • Okay, in that case I'm not sure what's happening. Can you include the Node code that has the error? Note that version 0.4.17 is now 2 years old - you should think about using at least version 0.5.0 and above as there were various important changes. – Richard Horrocks Dec 3 '19 at 12:38

Had the same issue .

  1. npm uninstall solc
  2. npm install --save solc@0.4.25

At the moment, Solidity version 0.4.17 is what im using. If you are getting this error, then you might likely have installed an unsupported version of solc.

You will need to do the following within the root of your project directory:

npm uninstall solc

rm -r node_modules

rm package-lock.json

npm install

npm install solc@0.4.17
