Error at npm start

I'm following this tutorial from my terminal, not workspaces. When I ran "npm start", I get an error: module.js:440 throw err; ^

Error: Cannot find module 'npmlog' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:438:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:386:25) at Module.require (module.js:466:17) at require (internal/module.js:20:19) at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js:20:13 at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js:76:3) at Module._compile (module.js:541:32) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:550:10) at Module.load (module.js:456:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:415:12)

I'm updated my node version with brew. I'm not sure how to fix this. Thanks!

The file structure changes when you download the project files. In the videos, Andrew Chalkley is working in what you'd see as your sequelize_blog folder, while the project files have subfolders to work in. Make sure you follow the initial steps anywhere you work.
