With npm, there are 2 possibilities to install a nodejs "executable"
as a global program as a local program. The local version --------------------- If you do $ cd ~ $ mkdir test-tw $ npm install tiddlywiki It creates a local version. You should see something similar to this: [mario:~/test-tw] $ -> npm install tiddlywiki npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/tiddlywiki npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/tiddlywiki npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/tiddlywiki/-/tiddlywiki-5.0.8-beta.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/tiddlywiki/-/tiddlywiki-5.0.8-beta.tgz tiddlywiki@5.0.8-beta node_modules/tiddlywiki It creates a directory structure like this: [mario:~/test-tw] $ -> tree -L 2 -a . └── node_modules ├── .bin └── tiddlywiki So you see there is a hidden .bin directory So if you say $ which tiddlywiki it should say: [mario:~/test-tw] $ -> which tiddlywiki ./node_modules/.bin/tiddlywiki If It says: [mario:~] $ -> which tiddlywiki /usr/bin/tiddlywiki You are using the global version. installed with sudo ... -g option. Something is wrong with your user PATH setting. If you list your paths with echo it should look similar to: [mario:~] $ -> echo $PATH ./node_modules/.bin:/home/mario/bin: ..... As you see. My path searches for executables in the node_modules/.bin as the first directory ... To do this you need to adjust your .bashrc file in your home directory. So add the following lines at the end of your ~/.bashrc file # activate local node_modules export PATH="./node_modules/.bin:$PATH" If you reopen your terminal window your "echo $PATH" should look similar to mine. now $ cd test-tw $ which tiddlywiki should give you a lokal TW seen above. If you go to to any directory that has no node_modules subdirectory and you do which tiddlywiki ... It should give you the global verison. The global version ----------------------- will be installed with: $ sudo npm install tiddlywiki -g If you are in any directory and call which tiddlywiki it should use the global path. [mario:~] $ -> which tiddlywiki /usr/bin/tiddlywiki So you can say eg: $ cd ~ $ mkdir test-global-tw $ cd test-global-tw $ tiddlywiki mywiki --init server it should use the global version. __no sudo needed__ try: $ tiddlywiki --version $ wich tiddlywiki ---------------- uninstall the global version $ sudo npm uninstall -g tiddlywiki uninstall the local version $ cd /to/your/path/ $ npm uninstall tiddlywiki hope this helps mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
