How to change a module installed via npm?

Question

Node.js

I installed the js-beautify module via npm, I needed to change something in it, I found `usr/local/lib/node_modules/js-beautify/js/lib/beautify.js` and corrected it, but this did not affect the module's operation. Even renaming the file did not affect the work. Apparently, we need to rebuild the module, but how to do it? I did not work with node.js, I use only this utility to format my html templates.

You can't change libraries installed via npm. Accept it as a fact or google why. Solve the problem differently.
