I don't see any error in your message. What was it?
I will say that you really shouldn't be installing itoolkit globally. npm
packages aren't really meant to be installed that way. Ok, I guess if I
actually look at the link you provide it mentions the error message and to
use NODE_PATH environment variable to work around that (another reason you
shouldn't be installing globally). My suspicion would be that you have not
exported the environment variable in your .profile so it's not being
picked up my node. If that's not it, I think I'm out of suggestions.
One other thing: you can unset LIBPATH. There should be no reason to set
this in normal operation and you haven't set it to a meaningful value
anyway. I wrote a blog article about why this is the case:

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [IBMiOSS] Error: Can not find module itoolkit
Date: Thu, Oct 31, 2019 6:49 PM
I'm trying to run a simple demo from IBM (

) but I keep getting the error above when I try to start node.
I have in my .profile
PATH=/QOpenSys/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/QOpenSys/usr/bin/X11:/usr/sbin:.:/usr/bin:/QOpenSys/pkgs/lib/nodejs10/bin:/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin
LIBPATH=/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin
NODE_PATH=/QOpenSys/pkgs/lib/nodejs10/lib/node_modules
And when I try to run
node http_db2.js I get the error.
I ran npm i --g itoolkit with no warnings and do see the module in
/QOpenSys/pkgs/lib/nodejs10/lib/node_modules
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Rob
