I’m trying to install globally and then use forever
and forever-monitor
like this:
npm install -g forever forever-monitor
I see the usual output and also the operations that copy the files to the global path, but then if I try to require("forever");
I get an error saying that the module wasn’t found.
I’m using latest version of both node and npm and I already know about the change that npm made in global vs local install, but I really don’t want to install localy on every project and I’m working on a platform that doesn’t support link
so npm link
after a global install isn’t possible for me.
My question is: why I can’t require a globally installed package? Is that a feature or a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?
PS: Just to make it crystal clear: I don’t want to install locally.
