==============
nodejs Debian package provides /usr/bin/nodejs
----------------------------------------------
Modules installed by npm can ship executables.
These executables depend on /usr/bin/node, which is
provided by the nodejs-legacy Debian package.
More information:
/usr/share/doc/nodejs/README.Debian
global mode npm
---------------
When run in global mode, npm is configured like this :
prefix=/usr/local
globalconfig=/etc/npmrc
globalignorefile=/etc/npmignore
That means npm -g install mymodule will be installed in :
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/
If mymodule installs executables, they go to :
/usr/local/bin
And man pages to
/usr/local/share/man
Please read npm-config(1), npm-folders(1) and npm-link(1) man pages.
This global configuration is kept across a global self update of npm.
It is not guaranteed it will stay like this, so it's safer to update
npm debian package instead.
do not confuse with /usr/lib/nodejs
-----------------------------------
/usr/lib/nodejs directory is reserved for modules that are provided by a
debian package.
