Why isn't the underscore module available in the Node.js console?
node.js, underscore.js
Solution
I don't really know why, but it fails indeed (when installing underscore globally, as you have done).
If you install it without -g, it should work (be careful, however, as '_' is already used by Node REPL to hold the result of the last operation, as explained here: Using the Underscore module with Node.js
Do you really need to install it globally?
Problem
I ran the following code to install the underscore js module: ``` npm install -g underscore ``` I then tried to access it via the node console, but I get the following error: ``` node > __ = require('underscore'); Error: Cannot find module 'underscore' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25) at Module.require (module.js:362:17) at require (module.js:378:17) at repl:1:6 at REPLServer.self.eval (repl.js:109:21) at rli.on.self.bufferedCmd (repl.js:258:20) at REPLServer.self.eval (repl.js:116:5) at Interface.<anonymous> (repl.js:248:12) at Interface.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:96:17) ``` Why doesn't this example work?
