I was following these steps in order to use Chainlink on Kovan testnet. when I’ve finished the configuration ( truffle-config.js , npm install to get all the dependencies, etc.) and I’ve compiled the contracts and all is working. But when I was doing:
truffle migrate --network kovan
I got an error about it couldn’t find the module @chainlink/contracts/truffle/v0.4/LinkToken . I’ve tried to find a solution on Internet but I didn’t find anything. Any help is more than welcome!
Hey @Joncarre, hope you are well.
Are you sure that you follow the proper steps from the instructions?
https://docs.chain.link/docs/create-a-chainlinked-project/#truffle-starter-kit
Cuz apparently you did not install the module properly, because its missing the LinkToken contract which should be on the node_modules folder and following the path referred on the require.

hey @thecil , thanks a lot! I found a solution (I changed the path because I didn’t realise that I had those files in my node_modules folder) but then… I got another error.
¿Unexpected identifier? I also tried to change that line to v6.0, but there’s no LinkToken.sol file in v6.0 folder (that file only exists in v4.0). So that didn’t work either.
I don’t know… Maybe something about the compiler? But I can’t change the compiler either. I need to use compiler 0.6.6.
Your path goes to a contract, you are not looking to deploy the LinkToken.sol.
The correct path is @chainlink/contracts/truffle/v0.4/LinkToken which leads to a JS file.
(Advice, you should not modify any of the files provided by the nodes_modules folder)
Carlos Z
Ok, ok I have news! That path is now correct, but… the problem now is kinda weird.
It seems it can’t find @chainlink/contracts/truffle/v0.4/LinkToken but that file is already in truffle/v4.0 as you can see in my project.
I’m not getting it 
I changed the path to ../node_modules/@chainlink/contracts/truffle/v0.4/LinkToken because the contracts are in node_modules folder. It seems it works but now I’m getting another error (Jesus…). This time related to web3:
I’ve tried npm install web3 already but it didn’t work. I suspect that this Chainlink deployment does not come with the web3 configuration files, is that possible? For example, in another Truffle project I have a src folder where inside there is an index.html and there is also the app.js file. But in my Chainlink project I don’t find that file (it is not by default…).
P.D: but I have app.config.json and package.json… Sorry I’m totally lost with this error.
Hey @Joncarre
Let’s try to install web3 globally first. Run npm i -g web3.
Then try again to deploy your project.
Keep us posted,
Dani
Thanks for help man. I’ve installed it on Linux and it’s working
