How do I import global modules in Node? I get “Error: Cannot find module “?

by

Node.js uses the environmental variable NODE_PATH to allow for specifying additional directories to include in the module search path. You can use npm itself to tell you where global modules are stored with the npm root -g command. So putting those two together, you can make sure global modules are included in your search path with the following command (on Linux-ish)

export NODE_PATH=$(npm root --quiet -g)
