Installation: The Foundation
The first step is to ensure the module is properly installed. Here are your options:
Local Installation (Recommended):
- Use the command npm install <module_name> in your project’s terminal. This installs the module and its dependencies within your project’s node_modules directory. This approach keeps project dependencies organized and avoids conflicts.
npm install <module_name>
Global Installation (Use with Caution):
- If you need the module accessible across multiple projects, use npm install -g <module_name>. However, proceed with caution. Global installations can clutter your system and make dependency management more complex.
npm install -g <module_name>
