I don't know if I just don't understand why and there is a really good reason why it behaves the way it does. I tried searching but I could not find anything relevant and the docs were equally uninformative regarding this type of problem.
I might be a neat-freak but I dislike the same modules being installed multiple times, it disturbs my sense of order :) I started by installing *mime*, *qs*,* formidable* and *mkdirp* globally and then continued to install *connect*. I made very sure that the versions of the modules I installed were the exact versions required by *connect*. Below is a modified output of *tree *command which shows that *connect*still installed it's dependencies even though the modules were already installed. . +-- connect ¦ ¦ ¦ +-- node_modules ¦ +-- formidable ¦ +-- mime ¦ +-- qs +-- formidable ¦ +-- mime ¦ +-- mkdirp ¦ +-- qs I verified with *diff -r* that the *formidable* code is identical in both sub-trees, only a few lines of configuration (that I suspect that npm changed depending on how the module was installed) differs.
