copied!<p>You have to install the module locally, not globally. That means you must <em>NOT</em> use the <code>-g</code> option when installing using npm.</p> <p>In Node.js, basically each application needs to have all of its dependencies in a local <code>node_modules</code> folder. You achieve this by installing node-mongoskin using:</p> <pre><code>$ npm install mongoskin </code></pre> <p>Global installation is only to provide system-wide binaries, such as a debugger, a testing tool or the bootstrapper of Express. This means, when you install a module globally, you can call its binaries from everywhere in your system, but for an application to work you need to install it locally.</p> <p>For applications, globally installed modules do not matter at all (and that's what your <code>ls</code> command shows: The globally installed modules).</p> <p>Hope this helps.</p> <p>PS: Please note that this distinction between local and global installs is related to any module, not only to mongoskin.</p> <p>PPS: You might want to check out the <code>package.json</code> file, where you can put your dependencies into, so that you can automatically install them at once using a simple <code>npm install</code>. To interactively create such a <code>package.json</code> file, see the <a href="https://npmjs.org/doc/init.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">npm init</a> command.</p> <p>PPPS: Please also see my answer on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15266380/getting-error-while-using-express-with-node-js">Getting error while using Express with Node.js</a>, it may help you to further understand what all this is about.</p>
