I wrote a little module that uses winston to log stuff.
I used sudo npm install -g winston (it is on a vm...so i'm not too concerned with sudo, etc.
Log from npm:
winston@0.7.2 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/winston
├── cycle@1.0.2
├── stack-trace@0.0.7
├── eyes@0.1.8
├── colors@0.6.2
├── async@0.2.9
├── pkginfo@0.3.0
└── request@2.16.6 (forever-agent@0.2.0, aws-sign@0.2.0, tunnel-agent@0.2.0, oauth-sign@0.2.0, json-stringify-safe@3.0.0, cookie-jar@0.2.0, node-uuid@1.4.1, mime@1.2.11, qs@0.5.6, hawk@0.10.2, form-data@0.0.10)
When I try to run my module in node I get:
Error: Cannot find module 'winston'

System versions: ubuntu node -v = v0.11.7-pre npm -v = 1.3.8
P.S. I tried this on my home laptop (another ubuntu vm) and worked.

If the suggestion of setting the class path hasn't worked, it might likely be that you need to use an npm link. See:
For winston goto the root folder of your script and use the command:
npm link winston
You probably need to export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/node_modules, where /usr/local/lib/node_modules is the path where your node modules are globally installed.
In general, missing modules should be solved by setting NODE_PATH as @fakewaffle says. Assuming they're installed of course.
But for winston, this didn't work for me. For some reason, I had to update file permissions:
chmod o+rx -R /pathto/node_modules/winston
I don't know why it permissions get set incorrectly. This solution is for Ubuntu, presumably it works for other linuxes but not Windows.
npm WARN winston-daily-rotate-file@3.2.3 requires a peer of winston@^2 || ^3 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
and i have removed node_modules folder and made npm install to dependency. it worked
Note: check before deleting the that you have package.json
"winston": "^2.4.1", "winston-daily-rotate-file": "^3.0.0"
if you use
yarn
-> do yarn install before yarn run dev.
