    ii ) If we encounter below error:

    Then, 

      npm install -g node-gyp

     git clone https://github.com/mongodb/js-bson.git

     cd js-bson

     npm install

     node-gyp rebuild 

                         

                                                        or

    In the MongoDB/node_modules, search

 bson = require('../build/Release/bson');

 and in catch block change to

 bson = require('../browser_build/bson');
