How to use NPM modules in file run with CasperJS?

I know that CasperJS isn't usable with node directly, but can I not even use a service like cheerio, a node web scraping tool?

I tried require('cheerio'); and it said not found. So, I did:

proxies/cheerios.js

module.exports = require('cheerio');

tests/file.js

var cheerio = require('../proxies/cheerio.js');

Now, I get:

Error: Cannot find module 'util'

phantomjs://bootstrap.js:289

phantomjs://bootstrap.js:254 in require

Any suggestions? I really need to use this plugin in CasperJS, and SpookyJS isn't working...

It's running on top PhantomJS so if you want to include external libraries you need to inject them into your code.
