I wanted to install a node module globally so that I could access it from anywhere. I ran the below command, apparently successfully ...

localhost:workspace satishp$ npm install -g git+https://github.com/ryohey/node-stratum-client.git
+ node-stratum-client@0.0.1
updated 1 package in 1.022s

and then I have a "run.js" file in which this is the first line

require("node-stratum-client")

However when I go to run my file ,it complains about not finding the module I just installed globally . Is there something else I need to do to get the module to install globally?

localhost:workspace satishp$ node run.js
module.js:557
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'node-stratum-client'

  • As I'm using a Mac and not Ubuntu, woudl be so kind as to tell me where "npm install -g" installs global modules? – satish Mar 05 '18 at 02:52

You can run npm config get prefix to find out where your modules are. I would also recommend checking out this thread for more relevant discussions
