This will produce a similar result but the module will be installed globally. Now let's try installing the express module using global installation. Such dependencies can be used in CLI (Command Line Interface) function of any node.js but cannot be imported using require() in Node application directly. Globally installed packages/dependencies are stored in system directory. For example, when we installed express module, it created node_modules directory in the current directory where it installed the express module.Дrwxr-xr-x 3 root root 20 Mar 17 02:23 node_modulesДЄlternatively, you can use npm ls command to list down all the locally installed modules.

Online repositories for node.js packages/modules which are searchable on Д¬ommand line utility to install Node.js packages, do version management and dependency management of Node.js packages. This service can be automatically started when the server restarts.Node Package Manager (NPM) provides two main functionalities в€’ Luckily there is a NPM package node-windows which can install a node application as a Windows service. Every time the server restarted, the internal API was down and had to be manually started. Unfortunately I did not find a reliable way to start PM2 whenever the Windows Server restarts. PM2 can manage the node process and keep it up and running. We need an alternative to keep the node process running to make the internal API available on the server via localhost. In this case, we can't rely on IIS to manage the node process for us as IIS would expose the web application to the internet. The internal API is only consumed by other applications running on the same server. I have built an internal API in the past which should not be accessible from the outside for security reasons. In some cases however we don't want to expose the node.js web application via IIS. When it receives a request it will start the node process and pass the web request for node to handle it. With the help of the HTTP platform handler, IIS manages the node process for us. In the last article a node web application was deployed on a Windows server.
