13. Installing a module
Global Mode
will install in /usr/local/lib/node_modules
is more suited for modules that should always be available
Local Mode
NPM default mode
“your application path”/node_modules
is ideal for installing the modules your applications depends
don’t affect others applications that you have installed
use always this mode is more safe
