Node JS Cannot find module 'node-properties-parser' Error while running as normal user in Amazon Linux

Question

I have installed node-properties-parser globally by running npm install -g node-properties-parser as normal user(vaisakh). Then i ran my test.js file with the command node test.js now it's throwing the error

Error: Cannot find module 'node-properties-parser'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:476:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:424:25)

    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:453:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:445:3)

I ran the above npm install -g node-properties-parser as root user and run the node test.js here it's working fine. But why it's throwing the error while running as normal user?

Solution

Thanks. Finally i found the answer, it's working when in run sudo npm install node-properties-parser without the -g option. But still i don't know why the -g option is not woking, in the docs it's given as install globally.

never use 'sudo' while doing npm i
