How do I install a module globally using npm

0 votes

I recently installed Node.js and npm module on OSX and have a problem with the settings I think:

npm install [MODULE] is not installing the node.js module to the default path 
which is /usr/local/lib/node_modules.

Hello @kartik,

I found the output contained the information I was looking for:

$> npm install -g karma
...
...
> ws@0.4.25 install /usr/local/share/npm/lib/node_modules/karma/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/socket.io-client/node_modules/ws
> (node-gyp rebuild 2> builderror.log) || (exit 0)
...
$> ls /usr/local/share/npm/bin
karma nf

After adding /usr/local/share/npm/bin to the export PATH line in my .bash_profile, saving it, and sourceing it, I was able to run

$> karma --help

Hope it helps!!

Thank you!!
