title: Error: Cannot find module '../lib/cli'
body: <p>I'm completely new to javascript development and I'm getting the following error as I work my way through the backbone_blueprints book. Here is the error I get:</p>

  <p>I thought it might be a path issue and so I added <code>export NODE_PATH=/opt/lib/node_modules</code> to my .zshrc file and sourced it and that seemed to have no impact. </p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts on anyway I can troubleshoot this or try to better understand what is actually happening?</p>
