How to install a node.js module without using npm?

There are quite a few modules which are listed on node's github page but are not published with the npm-registry. These modules can't be installed using npm.

What is the correct way to install these nodejs modules after cloning them from Git?

node.js package npm

Download the code from github into the node_modules directory

var moduleName = require("<name of directory>")

that should do it.

if the module has dependancies and has a package.json, open the module and enter npm install.

Hope this helps
