Hello, Guys.

Who might be wondering to help me with MongoDB compass?  
on an attempt to connect vidly-api-node with the MongoDB server I am watching a number of mistakes that do not allow me to launch it correctly.

Error: Cannot find module ‘joi’

1. Make sure Joi is installed, check your packages.json on the dependency list

```auto
npm i joi

```

1. at the top of your genre.js

```auto
const joi = require('joi');

```
