node.js - Parse-Server Local Installation — external modules -

i installed success parse-server on local machine from guid. tried first global installation, tried understand better (it's first time see related node.js) , installed in local directory. think should same.

this done:

npm install parse-server parse-dashboard underscore 

this how directory looks like:

/parse: ls dashboard-config.json        logs               node_modules  ls node_modules/underscore license         readme.md       package.json    underscore-min.js underscore-min.map  underscore.js  ls node_modules/parse parse/            parse-dashboard/  parse-json/       parse-server/ parseurl/ 

next try include cloud code developed. main.js has content:

//var image = require("parse-image"); var _ = require('underscore'); ... 

this how started server:

node_modules/parse-server/bin/parse-server \   --appid appid --masterkey masterkey \   --databaseuri mongodb://localhost:27017/myapp \   --cloud /absolutepathfor/myapp/cloud/main.js  

and error got

module.js:341 throw err; ^  error: cannot find module 'underscore' @ function.module._resolvefilename (module.js:339:15) @ function.module._load (module.js:290:25) @ module.require (module.js:367:17) @ require (internal/module.js:16:19) @ object.<anonymous> (/users/......./main.js:2:9) @ module._compile (module.js:413:34) @ object.module._extensions..js (module.js:422:10) @ module.load (module.js:357:32) @ function.module._load (module.js:314:12) @ module.require (module.js:367:17) 

how can include in case underscore, in case other libraries?

[update]

i installed globally underscore lib (node install -g underscore).

i create symbolic link cloud -> < path located cloud/main.js >

next created package.json npm init command

i launch again npm install

i created app.js described in guid , configured using same parameters above.

i started server node app.js

all gone fine. problem right in permissions on create new document, should have grants, problem solve. hope can else

i hit same problem , error message. did followings , works

1. npm install underscore
2. use path: var _ = require('../node_modules/underscore/underscore.js')

refer more details in post.

can't 'underscore' work parse server
