So, I understand that this is a pretty general title and question, but I looked at so many answers, but unfortunately none of them seem to work for me. I hope to get a little more information from myself, maybe someone has a specific answer or knows exactly which answer to redirect me to.
My problem: when I install node modules globally (e.g. npm install -g nightmare), I cannot access them in the project folder. I get an error message:
module.js:471
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'nightmare'
...
From what I have read so far, installing the module locally inside the project folder seems to be the preferred practice (is that true?), But so far at the development stage I would like to be able to use the modules I installed globally. I am new to node.js, so I am still discovering what “normal practice” is for these things. I first installed node using Homebrew, but since I had problems with how everything was installed and the path (which people said was normal when using Homebrew), I decided to try a clean slate by removing Homebrew and then node and NPM I reinstalled only node and NPM through the site, but I still cannot access my global modules.
