my simple js file:
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var d3 = require('d3');
var dc = require('dc');
var crossfilter = require('crossfiler');
var jsdom = require('jsdom');
global.d3 = d3;
var port = 2000;
app.listen(port,function(){
console.log("app listing port "+port)
});
i was just getting started at the beginning itself it threw error

Answer 1

I tried running npm install inside node_modules/dc
Then there was one more issue index.js no dc is defined added
changed require('./dc') to dc =require('./dc')
Now its working..
