In nodejs is there a way to have a module always available to me?
Like essentially a "global node_modules" or something similar,
so when I run node by itself,
I can always get, say the requestify package.
C:> node
> var request=require('requestify');
Without "being in" a folder that already has requestify loaded into node_modules in that very same directory (ie, so I dont have to pepper every folder with a node_modules with requestify in it)
node.js require requestify

That doesnt work. Went to a folder without a node_modules, rannpm install request -gthen typednodeand thenvar a = require("request")and that failed, so clearly global node_modules isn't included in the search pattern
