Error: Cannot find module 'underscore' thrown in console for all Meteor commands
After every meteor or meteorite command such as meteor
or mrt create myapp
the following error is thrown. This error seemed to appear suddenly, as meteor was functional the night before and no changes have been made since.
Austins-MacBook-Pro:Projects austinrivas$ mrt create test-app
/Users/austinrivas/.meteor/tools/3cba50c44a/tools/meteor.js:1480
}).run();

I have tried installing underscore manually with sudo npm install -g underscore
which returns

My ~/.bash_profile has the following paths
export PATH=/usr/local/share/npm/bin:$PATH
export NODE_PATH="/usr/local/share/npm/lib/node_modules"
export NODE_OPTIONS="--debug"
I've even tried reinstalling node and doing an npm cache clean
but I'm not sure what else to try.
Any further insight would be appreciated.
UPDATE
Running npm list -g underscore
returns the following

First off, your meteorite is out of date. To update meteorite run (sudo if applicable):
If you ran the 'mrt' or 'meteor' command as sudo in the past, it will cause issues. Clear meteorite by running:
You also want to remove the 'build' folder inside existing projects, located in '/project/.meteor/local/build'
I was able to resolve this error by completely uninstalling / reinstalling
meteor
andmeteorite
through the following steps.I was able to verifying everything was working properly by running
meteor --version
andmrt create test-app
