Sorry for yet another nube question but I haven't touched JS in years..

I'm confused with node.js, npm ls -g --depth 0 clearly shows ibm_db listed and yet a

var ibmdb = require('ibm_db')

from within a node cli, errors with can't find module ibm_db.

Netbeans search found the Node.js files without issue..

I know it's going to be something annoyingly obvious, but just can't see it.

OS is ubuntu server.. I've tried 3 install commands: As User-

npm install ibm_db
npm install -g ibm_db

As root- npm install -g ibm_db

DB2CLI is working correctly.

Anyone any ideas?

how did you installed the module? – SAGAR RAVAL Oct 05 '18 at 14:32

Looks like you wan't to *require globally* installed modules. This is not supported out of the box. Have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15636367/nodejs-require-a-global-module-package – naeramarth7 Oct 05 '18 at 19:05
Thanks Guy's that worked :) – Bob Bit Oct 06 '18 at 22:58
