npm doesn't install global modules correct - macos

There's a problem with installing my global modules properly.
My System
OS: OS X Mountain Lion
node.js: 0.10.18 (Package installer)
Steps to reproduce
Input
npm install coffee -g (or any other module)
Output
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/coffee
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/coffee
{lots of dependencies}

/usr/local/share/npm exists: No
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/coffee exists: Yes
/usr/local/bin/coffee exists: No
What else can I do?
I won't add the direct link to coffee to my $PATH-variable, because that's not my job, that's the job of npm! Really, why should I use npm when I could do it by myself? I read that answer like 100 times and I have no words for this, which aren't against the rules on SO.

If you want to install CoffeeScript globally (as one of the tags suggests), you shall install coffee-script (not coffee).
Additionally, sudo is required for installing global module on the Mac.
Command:
sudo npm install coffee-script -g
Input
% coffee
Output
coffee>

`pip install -e .` does not add folder to path

I’m trying to install locally a personal package that I called circuits.
I installed it with pip install -e ., it shows up in the pip list, but I have a ModuleNotFoundError when I try to import it.
(venv) pip install -e .

It turns out that the package is not added to my sys.path, although other packages that also are on my laptop are when I install them the same way.
I suspect that there may be some link with the fact that there already exists a package with the same name on pypi (https://pypi.org/project/circuits/)
which python returns /Users/me/my_project/venv/bin/python
which pip returns /Users/me/my_project/venv/bin/pip

Edit 1: added precisions on the config and project tree, removed screenshot.
Try this
python -m pip install -e .
The outcome of pip install -e . is mostly based on project structure and on the content of package metadata files like setup.py, setup.cfg, pyproject.toml. These files are used to instruct pip how to install a Python package.
I suggest you to review how to build Python packages and how write the metadata files. Take a look here, it should give a basis: https://python-packaging-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setup_py.html.
Another thing is that I see on the provided screenshot you install your package into its Virtual environment. I'm not sure if that's really what your need. In this case even if pip install -e . worked you'd only have access to your package from that venv, not from system Python installation.
If you just want to test your package interactively, just enter venv and run Python interpreter from the root project dir. Then you'll have access to own packages/modules and its dependencies installed to the venv.
Otherwise, if you need to install your package into system Python env, you need to pip install -e . outside of project's venv.
As #sinoroc pointed out in the comments, it was missing a __init__.py file in circuits

Can't remove Gatsby NPM package on MacOS

I'm having some issues getting Gatsby working. I want to remove my previous installation and start fresh.
Running npm list -g --depth 0 reveals:
/usr/local/lib
├── gatsby-cli#2.12.68
├── grunt-cli#1.3.2
└── npm#6.4.1
When I run npm uninstall --save -g gatsby-cli#2.12.68 the output is up to date in 0.031s - yet the Gatsby NPM package is still there.
Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Any help would be appreciated :)

Ok got answer myself.
I check what happens for
whereis pm2
pm2: /opt/nodejs/bin/pm2
then I checked
whereis userdown
userdown: /usr/bin/userdown /usr/bin/X11/userdown /opt/nodejs/bin/userdown
hmm in /usr/bin....
So I did
sudo ln -s /opt/nodejs/bin/pm2 /usr/bin/pm2
and it works :)
The problem is that you are running NPM as sudo, so you will only be able to access it using:
sudo pm2 start server.js
Install without sudo, you may even install without the -gflag and call it directly from node_modules directory. This may be useful if you do not have root (admin) privileges in the machine you're working on.
npm install pm2
./node_modules/.bin/pm2 start server.js
Follow the proper nodejs isntallation, npm permission fixes and npm global packages tweaks:
# https://gist.github.com/servercharlie/9a7e0d0e1645b4c6fbfe5de566fcf1ca
Your script needs to do some thing that requires root privilege? (ie: you're getting an error on using port 80)
[wrong] - trying to run w/ sudo
[correct] - login as root "sudo su" then do pm2 start app.js --name "whatever" --watch
that does it, no need to configure any bashrc or profile files.
extra: worried about your app doing crazy shit? (ie, since it's executed as root, the script can use nodejs's exec and do some crazy stuff.)
hence. do this: do the root-stuff first with your script, then lower your privilege after some timeout:
// i use port 80 first.. at this point the script's uid is ROOT.
app.listen(80);
// after 2 seconds we switch to uid AZUREUSER, which obviously isn't root anymore.
setTimeout(function(){
process.setuid("azureuser");
}, 2000);
In my scenario I wrote a shell script that was triggered by jenkins build and
I fixed using following link

But when I run
$ npm-windows-upgrade
I get
'$ npm-windows-upgrade' is not recognized as an internal or external
command
I was following the directions here. Any idea what's going on? I've been googling it for a while and not getting much more than those basic instructions.
UPDATE
Realized the issue was with everything I was trying to install globally. I thought the other packages I was trying to run worked but they did not. For example $ webpack returns the same error after installing it gloablly.
BACKGROUND
I'm running windows and had previously installed npm. When that started giving me all sorts of bugs I upgraded to npm3. I belive it was just
$ npm install npm3 -g
and then running all my commands starting with npm3, for example
$ npm3 install webpack --save
Today the same command gave me
'npm3' is not recognized as an internal or external command
So I tried to reinstall it with regular npm which gave me "'npm' ins not recognized..."
I was able to get npm working again after following these lovely instructions, but cannot figure out how to get back to version 3.
Also $ npm -v right now is 2.15.1
To answer my own question.
The problem was my path settings. Npm itself was working, but for some reason the location where it was installing global node modules was in different directory. I saw this when I ran
$ npm install npm-windows-upgrade -g
The first few lines it prints when you install show where it is being installed.
I noticed it was being installed in
C:\Users\(my_username)\AppData\Roaming\npm\nodemodules\npm-windows-upgrade
even though I had just fixed npm by pointing it to
C:\ProgramFiles\npm
so I changed that to the npm location it was actually using to
C:\Users\(my_username)\AppData\Roaming\npm
restarted my computer and it worked.
Here again are instructions to change your path variables.

karma command not found when karma already installed

I used node.js to install karma. My first try failed when running the following command on Terminal:
npm install -g karma
That failed so I decided to use:
sudo npm install -g karma
After entering my password it seemed to install correctly.
I am pasting part of the output of the install, maybe it will mean something to someone and it will be relevant to my question. After all the npm http messages this is what I see:

Does anyone have any idea as to what is going on?
Any help is appreciated.

I decided to check a file named: builderror.log

#mayankcpdixit gave the answer up there in a response to the OP's original question, but I'll put it here again in case anyone misses it.
You do not need to uninstall everything, and if I had to manually add a new path link for every npm package I try to install I'd probably shoot myself.
npm install -g karma-cli
Boom. Now you have karma command lines installed. Just like Grunt.
Edit: Please don't forget to upvote #mayankcpdixit as well, he commented directly on the original post, but didn't actually "answer" the question.
In your ~/.bash_profile (or similar) amend your PATH to include npm-installed binaries:
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/share/npm/bin"
I had this very same issue, and found this solution to be less time-consuming and impactful than completely re-installing node.
EDIT this has also worked for others in bash_profile
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/karma/bin"
It is recommended to install karma with its Command-Line-Interface (karma-cli) which will take care of fetching the appropriate karma. You can also install a different local version specific to each project you're working on and karma-cli will pick the appropriate one.
From the karma installation page:
Typing ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start sucks so you might find it useful to install karma-cli globally:
npm install -g karma-cli
Now, check that karma was installed by typing:
karma start
You can also check that karma was installed by going to this directory:
cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/karma
Good luck!
Don't need to completely uninstall node.js
Just
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/
Then
install node.js
Then
reinstall karma
This worked for me.
I had to add export PATH="$PATH":/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/karma/bin after installing karma with sudo npm install karma.
hope this helps.
Just go to test.sh:
Find: $BASE_DIR/../node_modules/karma/bin/karma start $BASE_DIR/../config/karma.conf.js $*
Replace with: /usr/local/bin/karma start $BASE_DIR/../config/karma.conf.js $*
Or: karma start $BASE_DIR/../config/karma.conf.js $*
I was also facing the same issue. It looks like karma for command line is a separate package which can be installed by
npm install -g karma-cli
When upgrading from Karma 0.10 to 0.12 the link to the karma executable is removed.
You can get it back with
cd node_modules/.bin
ln -s ../karma/bin/karma karma
Try re-installing node.js. There are lots of ways to install it, but I recommend downloading from nodejs.org
If that doesn't work, you may try to re-install karma.
