Like essentially a "global node_modules" or something similar, so when I run node by itself, I can always get, say the requestify package. 

C:\> node
> var request=require('requestify');

Without "being in" a folder that already has requestify loaded into node_modules in that very same directory (ie, so I dont have to pepper every folder with a node_modules with requestify in it)

Try npm install with the -g flag.

  • That doesnt work. Went to a folder without a node_modules, ran `npm install request -g` then typed `node` and then `var a = require("request")` and that failed, so clearly global node_modules isn't included in the search pattern – enorl76 Jan 01 '19 at 21:43
