Nodejs - can't find the .node_libraries folder

I'm new to node.js, I would like to use Step.js

https://github.com/creationix/step

The install instructions are very simple:

"Simply copy or link the lib/step.js file into your $HOME/.node_libraries folder."

The problem is that I can't find the .node_libraries folder anywhere. I tried to create the folder myself and upload the step.js file but I get the following error:

ReferenceError: Step is not defined

I tried to create the following directories:

but none of them works.

Also, Is it possible to load Step as a module?

Thankyou

They have an npm module.

Simply run npm install --save step in the same dir your package.json resides and then you can require() it in your code like this:

var Step = require('step');

The documentation is outdated. you should use the node package manager.

open the command line in the folder and write:

npm install step

also remember to include the module in your javascript file:

var Step = require('step');
