})();
```

```

### resolveFromNpm(*moduleId*)

```javascript
(async () => {
  await resolveFromNpm('./lib/install'); //=> '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/lib/install.js'
})();

(async () => {
  try {
    // npm CLI doesn't contain a file './hi'
    await resolveFromNpm('./hi');
  } catch (err) {
    err.code; //=> 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND'
    err.message; //=> "Cannot find module './hi' from npm directory '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm'."
    err.npmDir; //=> '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm'
  }
})();
```
