Error installing node-modules via npm

Question

I am trying to install node module redis v0.9.0 locally via npm. I have downloaded the tgz file from https://registry.npmjs.org/redis/-/redis-0.9.0.tgz. Now, when i try to execute the command npm install redis-0.9.0.tgz, it is trying to download again from the repository instead of just unpacking and installing. I am trying the command on linux environment. I am not getting why it tries to download.

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/redis-0.9.0.tgz
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/redis-0.9.0.tgz

Try to install it in this way:

npm install ./redis-0.9.0.tgz

What is the difference that it makes when we use ./?

The point that i am not able to understand is previously i was able to install with the command npm install redis-0.9.0.tgz and it did not try to download. But now why the same command is not working all of a sudden, instead trying to download. Any idea what could be the possible cause for that?

If current directory is not added to PATH, you shall refer to the file with ./
