How to fix global Node modules not found with JavaScript?

Spread the love

To fix global Node modules not found with JavaScript, we set the NODE_PATH environment variable.

We run

echo $NODE_PATH

to print the value of the NODE_PATH environment variable.

If it’s empty, we add

nano ~/.bash_profile
export NODE_PATH=`npm root -g`
source ~/.bash_profile

to add NODE_PATH to the .bash_profile file to make the global packages visible.
