`npm install -g poet` doesn't?

I'm a node n00b here, so this might be pilot error:

root@shuttle:~# npm list -g poet                        
/usr/lib

I was expecting node to successfully find poet@2.0.2.

Please advise. Thanks.

I see the same issue, I am digging into a solution for this right now!

Ok, I was able to get it to import once I made sure node is looking in the right path can you try setting the NODE_PATH env var to include the path listed in your previous list call (/usr/lib/node_modules).

So you would echo NODE_PATH=$NODE_PATH:/usr/lib/node_modules
