Workaround for appc cloud commands with (npm not found. Please install npm and try again) error:


1. Ensure that the folder containing npm is in NODE_PATH environment variable, e.g. NODE_PATH=/usr/lib/node_modules (I believe you can get this path by using 'npm root -g')

Alternative fix (without modifying environment variables)

1. navigate to the install directory of the current version of appc-cli. (Example for appc-cli@6.2.2 ~/.appcelerator/install/6.2.2/package/)
2. 'npm install global-npm'
3. navigate to acs node_module directory (node_modules/acs/lib/util.js) look for the function called "getNpm" and replace the line:
  
  var npm = require('npm');
  
  with the following line:
  
  var npm = require('global-npm');
  
  

Works great, thanks! Will this get overwritten when updating appc versions?
