How do you access the node_modules directory?

[hello-smile6]

@aboutdavid It is not.

Glitch currently doesn’t support installing npm packages globably, I suppose you could make a feature request for that.

Well, they do actually, as /app/node_modules/.bin is in PATH

List of paths:

/app/bin:/app/.local/bin:/app/node_modules/.bin:/opt/rust/cargo/bin:/opt/swift/usr/bin:/usr/local/go/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/nvm/versions/node/v12/bin

I suppose, I just meant using the -g switch with npm.

I think you’d need to have someone who can edit the hello-express project run the command npm install yarn on the project. It could be that easy.

[aboutdavid]

It’s hello-express, not hello-yarn, also express can be installed without yarn so they didn’t use yarn. Yarn is a npm alternative which essentially does what npm does, install node.js packages, however, unlike yarn, npm comes with node.js.

@RiversideRocks I just made hello-yarn for anyone who wants yarn preinstalled, a near-duplicate of hello-express.

It’ll only get occasional updates from now on.

For reliability and security.
