Fehler: Modul '../lib/cli' kann nicht gefunden werden

Ich bin völlig neu in der JavaScript-Entwicklung und erhalte folgende Fehlermeldung, wenn ich mich durch das Backbone_blueprints-Buch arbeite. Hier ist der Fehler, den ich bekomme:

Ich dachte, es könnte ein Pfadproblem sein, und so fügte ich export NODE_PATH=/opt/lib/node_modules meiner .zshrc-Datei hinzu und beschaffte es, und das schien keine Auswirkung zu haben. 

Irgendwelche Gedanken, ich kann das Problem beheben oder versuchen, besser zu verstehen, was tatsächlich passiert?
