Don't do that, and remove the node_modules directory. Most node modules will not work like that due to Meteor's file wrapping and ordering. They just won't load properly.

To use a node module:

  • Grab npm package via mrt add npm command.
  • Add packages.json file with the list of necessary packages, for example:

 

{
  "candle": "0.4.0",
  "oauth":  "0.9.11"
}

 

  • Afterwards, you can require the package with Meteor.require('packagename');.
