How to execute a NodeJs script in azure-scm-console, having canvas-data-cli command

Question

I'm executing a code file form azure scm console with node . It give the error: "'canvasDataCli' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

I can run the canvasDataCli sync command directly from console successfully as:

canvasDataCli sync -c ./config.js

Here is the code file, test.js

   var Promise = require('promise');

   require('canvas-data-cli');

   var s='./config.js';
   var command=`canvasDataCli sync -c  ${s}`;

   function exec_command_promise(cmd) {
   return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {

    var exec = require('child_process').exec;
    var child_process = exec(cmd);

    // event : stdout
    child_process.stdout.on('data', data => {
        console.log(data);
    });

    // event : stderr
    child_process.stderr.on('data', data => {
        console.log(data);
        reject(data);
    });

    // event : close
    child_process.on('close', data => {
        console.log(data);
        resolve(data);
    });

   }); 
   };

I solved my problem by installing the same package at global scope i.e., canvas-data-cli at

my-site.scm.azurewebsites.net/debugConsole

npm install canvas-data-cli -g

I think the issue was that, canvasDataCli sync command create a new process, which was being run at my-site.scm.azurewebsites.net/ and I was executing it from

my-site.scm.azurewebsites.net/dev/wwwroot/
