and everything is good here, at least I'm not mistaken. Now the problem comes when I want to use express:

$ express myapp

He replied:

-bash: express: command not found

Usually this problem occurs when the express generator is installed and the installation is resolved, but this is not me = (If anyone knows what I can do, thank you.

NodeJS version: v0.11.13-pre NPM version: 1.4.6

Ps: I ran all these commands as root

Ps2: Sorry for my bad english

Installing an express generator, we see

/var/www/site/npm/bin/express -> /var/www/site/npm/lib/node_modules/express-generator/bin/express


Add /var/www/site/npm/bin

to your $ PATH
