Cannot find package 'global-agent' imported from entry.mjs

I'm trying to deploy astro on my vps and when I run node server.js it throws this error.
Cannot find package 'global-agent' imported from /root/myfolder/entry.mjs

root@4b3s:~/myfolder# node server.js
node:internal/errors:484
    ErrorCaptureStackTrace(err);

Have you installed your node dependencies using the --production flag in either yarn or npm, and is astro in devDependencies? In case yes, that's the problem.

Another possible cause is that you're trying to execute the application without the node_modules folder. It will not work.

[shy flax]

No, I didn't use --production with any dependencies. And yes, I don't have node_modules on the vps, I'm not shipping 120mbs of files to my vps. Why doesn't astro node build just have a package.json?

[gritty field]

Well, it currently does not support that, but someone came up with a work-around that you might be interested in.
