Require global npm as a local node module.
Npm is about 18MB in size now, which is quite a heavy dependency for most modules. Luckily, nearly every node.js/io.js user has a npm installed globally.
However, normally, you can't require a global module directly, unless:
NODE_PATH environment variable to the folder where global modules are installed.The last one should be the best way for a third-party module.
If your module need to depend on npm, why not just use the global one?
var npm = require('global-npm');
If the version of npm counts, please use semver to check it by yourself.
