I'm trying to install Forever to use with Node.js. I'm installing it using 'npm install forever -g'. It seems to install fine, but when I run the command 'forever' it's not found.

Maybe I'm not installing it in the right location? Where should it be installed to?

Any help would be great! Thank you!
