'cannot find module "firebase-functions"

I imported and downloaded: firebase-functions and firebase-admin using npm i <package> but it give me a lint error like: cannot find module "firebase-functions". I also restarted vscode, but problem persists..

Could it be problem with webpack or tsconfig?

Some important packages in package.json:

firebase google-cloud-functions

Solution 1:^[1]

npm install firebase-functions
npm install firebase-admin

Solution 2:^[2]

You can try the following commands:

firebase use --add
firebase init functions

To get your project. Sometimes, its a permission problem. What you can try is creating a new account on your computer and doing the same commands, that almost always works.

I handled this problem with these steps. I don't really know whether exact solution is delete and initialize firebase functions again. Also I thought that problem is not specific only firebase-functions or firebase-admin. It can be missing node_modules packages.

delete node_modules in functions
firebase init functions. Update tsconfig and package.json and install dependencies.
restart vscode

@Shaybakov answer was the solution to my problem.

I recently switched the location of my project on my local machine. This meant that firebase libraries were not imported into the local directory and I either had to reconfigure the entire firebase CLl or just manually update the firebase libraries in the local directory with the commands that @Shaybakov stated.

npm install firebase-functions
npm install firebase-admin

Solution 5:^[5]

step 1. npm install firebase-admin

step 2. npm install firebase-functions
