In the past when I installed packages using npm(>=1.0) they would be installed locally, but not anymore.
First I use nvm to install node.js.
My operating System:
alfred@alfred-laptop:~/node/so/6513101$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu<br>
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=maverick
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.10"
My node version:
alfred@alfred-laptop:~/node/so/6513101$ node -v
v0.4.8
My npm version:
alfred@alfred-laptop:~/node/so/6513101$ npm -v
1.0.15
alfred@alfred-laptop:~/node/so/6513101$ npm install notifo
[email protected] ../../../node_modules/notifo
In the past it would install into the same directory but it does not install in the same directory anymore. is my npm/node.js broken or am I missing something or does npm not anymore install local packages(inside same folder => ~/node/so/6513101/node_modules
) which I thought was a cool feature because I could bundle
all my dependencies so that other users did not have to install npm to use my code(I still believe users should install npm because it is a great product). The bundle
command is gone so I can't use that? Could someone please explain to me what is going on?

npm walks up the folder tree until it finds a node_modules
or a package.json
and uses that as the root. What does npm root
print out?
If you mkdir node_modules
or create a package.json file, then it'll use the cwd.
EDIT: I won't see updates you post here. For better results, just post everything in the github issue, and let's do the support over there.
