How do I resolve "Cannot find module" error using Node.js?
After pulling down a module from GitHub and following the instructions to build it, I try pulling it into an existing project using:
> npm install ../faye
This appears to do the trick:
> npm list
/home/dave/src/server
└─┬ faye@0.7.1
├── cookiejar@1.3.0
├── hiredis@0.1.13
└── redis@0.7.1
But Node.js can't find the module:
> node app.js
node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
Error: Cannot find module 'faye'

I really want to understand what is going on here, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to look next. Any suggestions?
Using npm install installs the module into the current directory only (in a subdirectory called node_modules ). Is app.js located under home/dave/src/server/ ? If not and you want to use the module from any directory, you need to install it globally using npm install -g .
I usually install most packages locally so that they get checked in along with my project code.
Update (3/2016):
I've received a lot of flak for my response, specifically that I check in the packages that my code depends on. A few days ago, somebody unpublished all of their packages (https://medium.com/@azerbike/i-ve-just-liberated-my-modules-9045c06be67c#.kq9s64clp) which broke React, Babel, and just about everything else. Hopefully it's clear now that if you have production code, you can't rely on NPM actually maintaining your dependencies for you.
I had a very similar issue. Removing the entire node_modules folder and re-installing worked for me:
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm install --save module_name
For example, if the error is:
{ [Error: Cannot find module '/root/.npm/form-data'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }
then you can resolve this issue by executing the command npm install --save form-data .
