未在$ HOME / node_modules中安装NodeJs npm WARN卸载

Question

I have NodeJs module installed on /usr/lib/node_modules/

If i want to uninstall: $ npm remove <module>

I get this error message:

npm WARN uninstall not installed in /home/<user>/node_modules: "<module>"

OS: Manjaro Linux / 0.8.13rc1 / Ascella / XFCE

Thanks!

Try this:

$ npm remove -g <module>

Modules installed in /usr/lib/node_modules/ are global , meaning you must pass -g ( --global ) flag to npm in order to install/remove them. npm install <module> installs modules locally by default.
