+## Installing and running individual nodeschool workshop packages
+
+Please refer to the [nodeschool site](http://nodeschool.io/#workshoppers) for detailed instructions. In short, there are two ways to install the workshop modules :
+
+- **Globally** (easiest)
+
+	Depending on the npm version, `npm packages` get installed in different routes. To have access to them globally. Do 
+	
+	`npm install -global package_name` or 	`npm install -g package_name`
+	
+	If you get a  `permission denied` **error**. Run the previous command with `sudo`.
+
+	`sudo npm install -g package_name`
+
+	Now just run it by simply calling it. **For example :**
+
+	`npm install -g javascripting` **(installs it)**
+
+	![install_module](/images/readme-images/install_module.png?raw=true)
+
+
+	`javascripting` **(runs it)**
+
+	![run_module](/images/readme-images/run_module.png?raw=true)
+`
+
+- **Custom directory** (a bit more configuration)
+
+If you would like to keep all the node_school workshop packages inside a custom directory while you work through them. **Using our previous example :**
+
+```
+~ mkdir -p node_school
+cd node_school
+npm install javascripting 
+```
+
+From within the `node_school` directory now run `node_modules/learnyounode/bin/javascripting` to start it. 
+
+This is because you need to run the executable from within the directory itself since it's not available globally in your `$PATH`
+
+Please refer to this [discussion](https://github.com/nodeschool/discussions/issues/1869) for more info.
