npm-root 1 Display npm root

Synopsis

npm root

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.

Description

Print the effective node_modules folder to standard out.

Useful for using npm in shell scripts that do things with the node_modules folder. For example:

#!/bin/bash
global_node_modules="$(npm root --global)"
echo "Global packages installed in: ${global_node_modules}"

Configuration

global

  • Default: false
  • Type: Boolean

Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the prefix folder instead of the current working directory. See folders for more on the differences in behavior.

  • packages are installed into the {prefix}/lib/node_modules folder, instead of the current working directory.
  • bin files are linked to {prefix}/bin
  • man pages are linked to {prefix}/share/man
