Symlinked plugin can't find npm modules

[eadsjr]

I wanted to include my plugins in my git repo so I symlinked them like so:

ln -s "$PWD/my_plugin" ~/.meteor-kitchen/plugins/my_plugin

When run, this resulted in:

Plugin "my_plugin"...
Executing plugin...
module.js:457
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'meteor-kitchen'

Error executing "node". No such file or directory

plugin.js:6 is var kitchen = require("meteor-kitchen");

Also, I do have node installed:

$ node --version
v6.6.0

And the example plugins work.

I had a similar issue when referencing "npm": ["some_package"] in the plugin.json file, which I assume is simply not supported.
