This is where the package.json file shines. Simply define your app's dependencies in it's package.json. Then on whatever machine you're working, getting the right dependencies is a simple `npm install` away.
This also has the added benifit of avoiding dependency issues where project A depends on foo@0.0.4, but project B depends on foo@0.2.1 and they are incompatible versions. Globally installed dependencies have versioning issues. I like to keep my code in the open, so I push everything to github. I'm constantly working on a new machine (I format and install OS about weekly) I don't have to worry about backing up my data, it's always somewhere I can find it. Document your dependencies using package.json (hint `npm init` and `npm install --save foo` are your friends) and push your code to a central repository like github. (If you don't want others seeing your code and don't want to pay for a premium github account, it's trivial to setup your own git repo if you have a vps somewhere).
