Node.js - Configuring $NODE_PATH with NVM
Solution 1:
Adding following to .bashrc
or .zshrc
helps
export NODE_PATH=$NODE_PATH:`npm root -g`
I am not expert whether that is good.

Solution 2:
NVM will set the path for node and npm once you run
nvm use <node_version>
However, that is just for the current shell and any new shells will not have a version of node an npm selected until your run the previous command unless you set a default version
nvm alias default <node_version>
voila! You have a working version of npm and node in any new shell you open.
To change the default simply run it again with the new version of node you want to use. e.g.
nvm alias default v5.4.0
Solution 3:
I figured a way to make this work.
In your ~/.bash_rc
file or ~/.zsh_rc
add this line:
export NODE_PATH=`which node`
Open new shell or run this source ~/.bash_rc
to pick up the changes
