To setup path of node modules

Installed node modules globally but still showing error

suppose you installed a node module X-module globally somehting like this node i -g X-module but still getting error when you call that module. Then you might be having NODE_PATH not pointing to your modules. To solve the problem try the following method.

Write your command to install node module globally.check

node i -g X-module

check out the path where the module is installing. In my case it was /usr/local/lib/node_modules/. copy this path.

write following command in terminal.

echo NODE_PATH=your_node_module_path > ~/.bashrc

source ~/.bashrc

Hope it helped you out :)
