Cannot find faker module after installing npm --save-dev

I want to install all my modules locally, so I install everything with the "-save-dev" switch, which updates package.json.

I am trying to enable this module, so I installed this command:

npm install Faker --save-dev

My application structure is as follows:

Application model controllers node_modules server.js trickster

So, Faker is in the right place, but when I add this code to the server.js file:

var faker = require('./Faker');

The following error message appears:

Error: Cannot find module './Faker'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:364:17)
    at require (module.js:380:17)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/paulcowan/projects/async-talk/server.js:23:13)
    at Module._compile (module.js:456:26)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)
    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)

But it works:

var Faker = require('./node_modules/Faker');

I did not think that I would have to include the node_modules part.
