-  console.log(path.resolve())
+  const path = require("path");
+  console.log(path.resolve());
   ```
 
 * **Question:** What is `path` and where does it come from?

 * **Your Answer:**
 
----
+_npm install moment_

 * **Question:** Do you need to use a `./` to require the package? Why or why not?
 
 * **Your Answer:**
 
----
+_No, because we don't have moment file and we pull it from package_
 
 - [ ] Move your `profile.js` file into a `src/` folder. Update the path in your `index.js` file to ensure everything continues to work.
