Using NPM & Including Files

I am messing around with Yeoman for generating an Angular app. I am also new to npm in general but it seems to be fairly straight forward (or so I thought)

I am installed an oauth package using 

npm install oauth

and this placed the files in my node_modules file.

My problem is when I try to include these files in my app it's not referring to any of the files in my node_modules directory. I tried putting

var OAuth = require('oauth').OAuth

in my app's js file and it's saying oauth is undefined. How do I include an installed npm package in my app?

Any help would be appreciated.

You almost have it.

var OAuth = require('oauth');

var credentials = new oauth.OAuth(
    /* Credentials go here */
);

Sean T. Unwin - Is this exactly what I'd need something like RequireJS for?
