How can I change the cache path for npm (or completely disable the cache) on Windows?

Question

I\'ve installed Node.js on my Windows 7 x64 development machine, the manual way:

mkdir C:\\Devel\\nodejs
cd C:\\De         


        

Answer 1

In addition, I found that running an update command works also - for example:

npm update npm

Lastly, one can check their npm-cache directory to see if is being filled or not.
