Error: require.paths is removed. Use node_modules folders, or the NODE_PATH environment variable instead

Question

I just freshly installed Node.js and now I\'m trying to run a simple script, but I get the following error message:

Error: require.paths is removed. Use node         


        

Answer 1

In my case, I have an old local (user-specific) installation of coffee-script.

Here's what I did :

1. deleted my ~/.node_modules folder
2. deleted relevant binaries in ~/bin folder
3. reinstall coffee-script : sudo npm install --global coffee-script

Now it works :)
