Here's an example for me trying to install Node-Proxy because NowJS needs it:
sudo npm install node-proxy
> [email protected] install /home/jennifer/node_modules/node-proxy
> make

Try this: npm config get prefix will return the path.
The Npm command not found error can appear when you install or upgrade npm. On Windows, the cause of this error could be that a PATH or system variable is not correctly set. The error can also occur if you do not have npm or Node. js installed, have an outdated version, or have permission issues.
To solve the "Cannot find module path or its corresponding type declarations" error, install the types for node by running the command npm i -D @types/node . You can then import path with the following line of code import * as path from 'path' .
Seems like this issue has also been reported here: https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/1716

I got this when trying to downgrade from node v0.6x to v0.4x. Fix was to run sudo make uninstall
in the v0.6x directory and then reinstall v0.4x.
