The 2nd way is more typing because everytime you install, you have to type the whole prefix thing, whereas if the package.json is symlinked, then you can just have a tmux window you switch to and do npm install.
$ mkdir /home/dan/myproject & npm install -prefix /home/dan/myproject. I thought I'd leave this here since this comes up in google for this issue and there's not much else.Īn alternative might be ( but more typing in the long run ) That's how I got my situation figured out. $ NODE_PATH=/home/dan/myproject/node_modules node index.js. $ ln -s /media/sf_shared/myproject/package.json you can symlink in this direction, just can't create one inside of /media/sf_shared. $ mkdir /home/dan/myproject & cd /home/dan/myproject. Lets say you have /media/sf_shared and you can't install symlinks in there, which means you can't actually npm install from /media/sf_shared/myproject because some modules use symlinks. This seems to be covered by NODE_PATH=/something/node_modules Been there, done that, that's how I know how much it sucks. Making the suggested changes would make everything worse. Try installing any module using the above CLI command. Below is the syntax used to install the NPM module. It's documented thoroughly in npm help link. Any NPM modules can be easily consumed in your app using the CLI command followed by the module name. If you want to have a single install place which is shared by multiple modules, or you want to install something globally (to get the command line utils) and also locally (to get the require()-able modules), then use the npm link command. The local-install approach is why you can just delete that directory and be done with it, because npm doesn't put anything outside of that directory (except in the case of global installs, which is part of why they kinda suck to maintain.) cd into a project you're working on, throw a package.json in there, and run npm install to install all your deps. If you don't want to install modules into ~/node_modules, you don't have to. 
This is how you can add binaries to your path.
If you don't want to install modules locally, you don't have to. If you want modules to be in /opt/npm help folders. I want it to feel like you're making a significant non-standard choice, because you are. If you hack your NODE_PATH environ to include /lib/node_modules, fine, then it's on you to deal with any issues. That is a specific design choice which was very carefully considered based on the tradeoffs in complexity, maintenance, bug-causing (which comes back to npm, and thus my todo list, more often than one would probably expect.) Global modules are for command line programs that you want to put in your $PATH environment variable. 
If you happen to know easier and appropriate way, you are more than welcome to describe it in the comments below. But I do not know any other way so, this should work for you too. I am sure there is easier way to do all this and the way I did may not be the appropriate way, rather it is not. This latest version can be found out by running npm info express version on cmd.Ĭd into (go into) that created package folder and run npm install -g (-g installs it globally) Copy paste all the folders under this node_modules to C:\Program Files\nodejs\node modules\npm\nodemodules.Īdd entry of the dependencies (of the packages you want to install in the package.json under C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\package.json as Run command npm install \AppDate\Roaming\npm\nodemodules. Make sure your PATH environment variable points to the right location of nodejs, typically C:\Program Files\nodejs.īack to cmd, cd into (go to) C:\Program Files\nodejs\node modules\npm\nodemodules
I am not sure exactly what part of my steps fixed it, but if you have these problems, worth trying! I followed a few logical steps and now it works. While executing "npm install express" and then "npm install" it always threw me an error saying that the dependencies cannot be read. If you are trying to install nom packages on Windows, you will face all sorts of problems. You will also need to add a property called scripts. Then, add the name and version properties required. Here is the npm official documentation on creating a package.json file. In the same folder create a package.json file. NODE SINCE VERSIONS > 0.6 INSTALL NPM ALONG WITH ITSELF For any TypeScript files it finds there, it will output the compiled JavaScript to a new folder named output.
