Run npm command line without add node to path

Question

I have a folder with last version of node and npm (on ubuntu) :

node
 node_modules
 node
 npm
 npm.cmd

And would like to run node/npm without add node/node in classpath

Because node/npm returns : node/npm: node: not found

Idea ?

What you can do is to call the npm-cli.js using node. So in the node folder, you can run npm commands by running:

./node node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js <command> <args>

where and are the npm command and arguments.
