define is not defined Javascript Node

Question

I am trying to run a Javascript file with Node to post blog updates to Tumblr.

So far in my main.js file I have this:

// Tumblr Information
var tumblr =

It looks like you are trying to load a library that is coded according to the AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition) pattern, which Node does not support natively. It is perfectly possible for the author of a library to write such library so that it can be loaded in Node. The users of the library have to extend Node's module loading capabilities to understand AMD in order to load such library.

There are multiple loaders you can use, the one I use is amd-loader. Once installed with npm, you just add

require("amd-loader");

before you load any AMD module.
