node (18.7.0) cannot find globally installed npm (8.18.0) module.

My app.js includes:

let jp = require('jsonpath')

Command lines & outputs:

$ npm install -g jsonpath
…

$ npm -g list

Node.js v18.7.0

CodePudding user response：

Yes, this won't work! Because your app.js will use jsonpath in current project node_modules, not the one you installed globally. You have to install library in current project, just simply run:

npm install jsonpath

Then it will work properly!

CodePudding user response：

Hi yes As a friend said open terminal in your path project and type

npm i jsonpath
