Where does npm install packages?

Question

Can someone tell me where can I find the Node.js modules, which I installed using npm?

Answer 1

Windows 10: When I ran npm prefix -g, I noticed that the install location was inside of the git shell's path that I used to install. Even when that location was added to the path, the command from the globally installed package would not be recognized. Fixed by:

1. running npm config edit
2. changing the prefix to 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm'
3. adding that path to the system path variable
4. reinstalling the package with -g.
