无法在Chef调配的VM上运行使用npm安装的软件包

Question

I provisioned my VM on AWS using Chef and installed NodeJS using the NodeJS recipe ( https://github.com/redguide/nodejs ). When I do a global npm install of any package, I am not able to run that package using command line. Attached the screenshot below.

Answer 1

我的poise-javascript Cookbook具有node_package和javascript_execute资源，可以为您处理所有必需的路径。

Answer 2

There are two options:

1)add the /usr/local/nodejs-binary-6.3.0/bin/ to PATH variable.

Or

2)Run /usr/local/nodejs-binary-6.3.0/bin/http-server .

The npm package binaries are not added to path by default. I would prefer option 2 to keep the path unpolluted
