Am new to node js . I have installed nodejs in C:\Program Files\nodejs . and installed socket io. I tried to create some sample application in E:\harilal\node. i got error "cannot find socket io" . after searching installed socket.io in the app folder using npm. Now it's working fine. Is i need to install socket.io for every app separately. Is it possible to install it in node installation directory and use it in apps?

This is a known issue. Try setting the HOME environment variable. On the command line enter set HOME=%USERPROFILE%
By the way, installing socket.io for every app is sort of the recommended way of doing things.

@BlondAngelNYC Actually am also a newbie. Just started to work with nodejs. I didn't understand the idea of running from commandline and from webserver. Could you please tell me more about it?

I don't like installing anything globally since I work on multiple projects. I like each project to be self contained including the utilities it requires. For example, coffee. The workaround is to prepend
`node_modules/.bin` to PATH
This way local scripts are used if they exist. Declare command line utilities under `devDependencies` in package.json.
