For instance, when I develop using Pyramid, I use a python virtual environment which I can basically delete without effecting the system. I don't know if Node has something like that.

You don't have to see install modules globally, you can install them to the directory. That might be the simple solution. npm install -g installs the module for the whole system. Without the g switch (default) it installs for just the current directory and sub directories. > + I don't want a virtual machine, just something comparable to venv in python (http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/) I'm pretty new to node myself, but I'm not aware of anything similar to venv. The local modules takes care of module versions, but not the version of node itself. I know you said no virtual machines, but Vagrant is really quite nice to work with, although it takes a bit of setup. -John -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
