Cannot find module 'bluebird' even though I have installed it.

[Colin Law]

I have a working system that uses node-red-contrib-owfs but I wish to
update to the latest version of this node. The node now has an
additional dependency of bluebird at ~3.3.5. I have installed
bluebird at that version using

sudo npm install -g blue...@3.3.5

but when I restart node-red I get
[owfs] Error: Cannot find module 'bluebird'

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong please?

npm is 2.15.0
node-red is 0.13.3

I realise now what I was doing wrong. I had previously forked
node-red-contrib-owfs in order to do some enhancements to it. To use
the forked version I linked
/usr/lib/node_modules/node-red-contrib-owfs to my fork. In order to
update the node I had fetched the latest version from the authors
repository and had not realised that I needed to include a copy of
bluebird inside the owfs node directory. I have now done the job
properly(?) by updating the node via npm, copying bluebird across to
my fork, and relinking the directory to mine.

I will get the hang of how this all hangs together eventually. Sorry
for the noise
