If you frequently run multiple different versions of node on the same machine, many use a version manager like nvm or n to make the task easier. In this case you would install the module globally for each version of node.
In general I would recommend reinstalling global modules. If you instead copy, be sure to do an npm rebuild on each global module to ensure any binary bits are recompiled against the new version of node. -- Daniel R. <[email protected]> [http://danielr.neophi.com/] On May 21, 2014 3:25 PM, "Stefano Cudini" <[email protected]> wrote: > I upgraded nodejs on my system to a new version. > > I had already installed many npm packages installed globally with the > previous version, inside: /opt/node-v0.old/lib/node_modules > > The new version now say the package is located > at:/opt/node-v0.new/lib/node_modules > > Is a better way to reinstall all packages with the new version of nodejs? > or I can simply move node_modules dir to the new path? > > what is the best behavior usually? > > -- > 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. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/nodejs/43b545a8-ef47-428a-8adf-9a42ff2b18dd%40googlegroups.com<https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/nodejs/43b545a8-ef47-428a-8adf-9a42ff2b18dd%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- 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.
