isn't there is any method by which we can install a module without registering it on npm registry ??Please guideline.

Answer 1

Your Git URL is of incorrect format. In the npm documentation , it is stated that Git URLs must be of one of these formats:

git://github.com/user/project.git#commit-ish
git+ssh://user@hostname:project.git#commit-ish
git+ssh://user@hostname/project.git#commit-ish
git+http://user@hostname/project/blah.git#commit-ish
git+https://user@hostname/project/blah.git#commit-ish

So your package.json should look more like this:

{
  "name": "application-name",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node app.js"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "3.4.0",
    "jade": "*",
    "passport-strategy": "git+ssh://git@bitbucket.org/RiteshM/passport-strategy.git"
  }
}
