how can this be?
I installed Backbone via npm install -g backbone
I even restarted Eclipse and my machine.
By default, node will not load modules that are installed globally. You should be performing any npm install
-s in your project's directory root, not installing them globally.
Try this instead. Create your new project directory, change to it, and then:
npm init #this will create a package.json for your project
npm install --save backbone # this will install backbone to the directory, and save it into your package.json as a dependency
Then create a file in that directory called index.js
. Put your code in there requiring backbone. Then from within that directory run node index.js
, and you'll find that everything works, and backbone is available.
