    <p>I am having a problem installing global node modules and everything I find online says the solve is just adding -g. Which is not the problem. I believe it's a linking issue or wrong directory issue. </p> <p>Here is what I do:</p> <pre><code>$ npm install -g express npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/express npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/express npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/range-parser/0.0.4 npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/mkdirp/0.3.3 ...downloads correctly $ express myapp bash: express: command not found </code></pre> <p>However when I run the direct link location to express it works:</p> <pre><code> $ /usr/local/share/npm/bin/express myapp create : myapp create : myapp/package.json create : myapp/app.js ... Builds app correctly </code></pre> <p>Where the module is: </p> <pre><code>$ which node /usr/local/bin/node $ node -pe process.execPath /usr/local/Cellar/node/0.8.20/bin/node $ npm link express /Users/bentonrr/Development/Personal/node_modules/express -&gt; /usr/local/share/npm/lib/node_modules/express </code></pre> <p>In my .bash_profile I have:</p> <pre><code>export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/node_modules:/usr/local/lib/node </code></pre> <p>Do I need to change my Node environment to download to correct folder? Is something not linking correctly? I am lost.. </p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Other Specs:</p> <pre><code>$ node --version v0.8.20 $ npm --version 1.2.11 $ brew --version 0.9.4 OSX Version 10.8.2 </code></pre>

    1. COIt's because /usr/local/share/npm/bin/ is not in your $PATH of your shell. That's why the shell can't find `express`.

    2. COI added: export PATH=/usr/local/share/npm/bin:$PATH to my .bash_profile and it worked. Thanks! Add an answer so I can accept it and upvote.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
