title: npm installs all modules in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/
body: <p>I have node.js 0.8.14 installed on Ubuntu 12.10. I created a directory in my home directory with a sub directory <code>node_modules</code>. I want to install some local node modules there but running<br>
  <code>
  npm install myModule
  </code>
  in this directory installs this module in <code>/usr/local/lib/node_modules/</code> (same behavior as installing the module with the <code>-g</code> flag</p>
  
  <p>There is no node path in <code>.bashrc</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Any idea how I can install local node modules?</p>
