Node.JS cannot find module 'xml2js' (Windows)

I was also facing the same issue. Here's what I did:

Install the module using following:

$ npm install -g *module_name*

Then go to any parent dir of your project dir (it can be project dir itself) and run the following command:

$ npm link *module_name*

Make sure that the directory ./node_modules/xml2js exists.

When you run npm install somemodule at D:/test, it will be stored to D:/test/node_modules/somemodule, then you can require this module in D:/test/*.js, and you can not require it at D:/other/place/*.js. If you hope the module can be required anywhere you should run:

npm install somemodule -g
