Trouble adding a backend to statsd

Question

npm install -g statds
npm install -g statsd-ganglia-backend

This does not deliver the new backend to /usr/local/lib/node_modules/statsd/backends.

What do I need to copy for myself?

Answer 1

The doc for neglects to mention that you install it inside of statsd. You cd to the statsd directory and to a local, not a global, install.
