I have an application that uses the node twit module that is available via 

npm install twit

I deployed the node module locally from
.meteor/local/build/server/

So, it is visible at
.meteor/local/build/server/node_modules/twit

I tried installing it at project root but the project did not find the module. Which led me to the above solution which works.

My application now runs fine locally. I am able to run and do everything and can interact with Twitter from my Meteor server side or client side depending on what I want to do. No crashes.

When I deploy to meteor.com through the command

meteor deploy [appname] --password

The application deploys successfully.

When I attempt to access the (app at anonistream.meteor.com)[anonistream.meteor.com] from a browser it fails and the logs contain this error.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how this might be accomplished?

    finally, I wrote like this.
    it works both in local and meteor sever. thx Ian 😀

    install npm module inside “app/public”:

        app/public# npm install MODULE_NAME

    inside app/server/server.js:

    Meteor.startup(function () {
    var require = __meteor_bootstrap__.require;
    var path = require('path');
    var base = path.resolve('.');
    var isBundle = path.existsSync(base + '/bundle');
    var modulePath = base + (isBundle ? '/bundle/static' : '/public') + '/node_modules';

    var MODULE_NAME = require(modulePath + '/MODULE_NAME');
});
