nowjs not working

Question

I successfully installed nowjs on my server. Now I'm trying this tutorial: http://nowjs.com/doc/example I created both files and put them into var/www/test By running this command

node helloworld_server.js

in putty I get an error:

module.js:337
    throw new Error("Cannot find module '" + request + "'");
          ^
Error: Cannot find module 'now'
    at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:337:11)
    at Function._load (module.js:279:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:359:17)
    at require (module.js:375:17)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/var/www/helloworld_server.js:7:13)

    at Module.load (module.js:353:31)
    at Function._load (module.js:311:12)
    at Array.0 (module.js:484:10)

The installation worked fine and node is correctly installed. I'm a beginner in administrating a server, but whats wrong with the code? Thanks!

That is a very generic error that tells you Node.js can't find the module. If you did npm install module in the root of your project you should have a node_module directory. Inside that directory you should be able to see the modules you installed.
