Change default global installation directory for node.js modules in Windows?

Question

In my windows installation PATH includes C:\\Program Files\\nodejs, where executable node.exe is. I\'m able to launch node

Answer 1

You should use this command to set the global installation flocation of npm packages

(git bash) npm config --global set prefix /npm

(cmd/git-cmd) npm config --global set prefix \npm

You may also consider the npm-cache location right next to it. (as would be in a normal nodejs installation on windows)

(git bash) npm config --global set cache /npm-cache

(cmd/git-cmd) npm config --global set cache \npm-cache
