Fix "Cannot find module OpenStudio" for Node.js Bindings on Ubuntu Linux

ERROR: Cannot find module 'OpenStudio'



PROBLEM: Your JavaScript cannot find where the OpenStudio software libraries are.  



SOLUTION

1. Login as user & add to $PATH
export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/openstudio/node
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/lib/openstudio/node
sudo -s 
sudo echo 'export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/openstudio/node' >> /etc/profile 
sudo echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$NODE_PATH' >> /etc/profile
2. Login as root & add to $PATH
sudo -i 
sudo echo 'export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/openstudio/node' >> /etc/environment
sudo echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$NODE_PATH' >> /etc/environment

TEST
echo $PATH
echo $NODE_PATH

/usr/local/lib/openstudio/node must show up

POST SPECIFIC TO : Linux Ubuntu 12.04
