AWS install : Cannot find module './lib/red.js'

General
1

I have followed that guide to install an instance of nodered on AWS: Running on Amazon Web Services : Node-RED
I actually deployed with a pipeline, where source is a github repo with just a package.json, a buildspec and a setting file.
build and deploy happen successfully, but whe the app starts I get the below log.

Any idea what is wrong?

So it looks that the tutorial is actually wrong.
The error is gone when I launch node-red with

node ./node_modules/node-red/red.js --settings settings.js -v

instead of the tutorials'

./node_modules/.bin/node-red -s ./settings.js
