You might have a pathing issue. It looks like you installed less to
~/node_modules and are running your app from ~/less_files. Node is might
be looking for less globally in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ or locally in
~/less_files/node_modules/ and not finding it in either.
Try removing the ~/node_modules folder to install modules properly when
your projects are in sub-folders of ~/ like ~/less_files is.
