windows 7: node ignoring PATH and NODE_PATH

[Michael Mossey]

I'm on Windows 7, and I've installed node and npm via the MSI on the nodejs website. I installed several modules including karma using npm, and when I installed them I used the -g option. npm put the modules in c:\User\Mike\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules. Now if I run a command like "node karma" I get

Error: cannot find module at <current working directory>\karma

I've set NODE_PATH to c:\User\Mike\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules (and also tried dropping the node_modules from the end) and I get the same error. It's like it's ignoring NODE_PATH entirely.

Any ideas?

if you install a package with -g then the respective command should be in your PATH, so you have to execute the karma command. just type "karma", not "node karma". with the latter you're calling node and providing it with a name, which is interpreted as a file in your cwd, which is of course not there.

The install should add 

 c:\User\Mike\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules

to your PATH

If it is not in your PATH (not NODE_PATH), add it manually

Same thing happened to me with "yo". Any solutions found so far?

Same problem with 'body-parser'. Any solution now?
