Summary: is there a way to list a dependency for your to-be-published npm module as global?
I'm currently authoring an npm module which relies on JSHINT as a main dependency. The idea for my module is to be able to call JSHINT programmatically from Node. I do this by using fs.exec on the jshint command.
The problem, however, is that unless the JSHINT is installed globally (npm -g install jshint), when executing the jshint command (even from the command line), I get:
-bash: jshint: command not found
I've looked around and can't seem to find a solution. What I've found so far hasn't worked.
I was wondering, then, when authoring an NPM package to be published, is there a way to list one of the dependencies as a global dependency which must be installed with -g by npm when users install my module?
