$ node --version

$ npm ls underscore

└── underscore@1.8.3

Problem

When I try to require locally installed "underscore" module, Node throws the following error.

$ node --version
v5.2.0
$ node
> require('underscore')
Error: Cannot find module 'underscore'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:327:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:278:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:355:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:13:17)
    at repl:1:1
    at REPLServer.defaultEval (repl.js:252:27)
    at bound (domain.js:281:14)
    at REPLServer.runBound [as eval] (domain.js:294:12)
    at REPLServer.<anonymous> (repl.js:417:12)
    at emitOne (events.js:83:20)

With Node v5.1.1 it works fine.

$ node --version
v5.1.1
$ node
> require('underscore')
{ [Function]
  _: [Circular],
  VERSION: '1.8.3',
  [...] }

Also, when I directly specify the script path instead of the simple package name underscore, it can load the module as expected.

$ node --version
v5.2.0
$ node
> require('./node_modules/underscore/underscore.js')
{ [Function]
  _: [Circular],
  VERSION: '1.8.3',
  [...] }
