Synopsis
npm prefix [-g]
Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
Description
Print the local prefix to standard output. This is the closest parent directory
to contain a package.json file or node_modules directory, unless -g is
also specified.
If -g is specified, this will be the value of the global prefix. See
npm config for more detail.
Example
npm prefix
/usr/local/projects/foo
npm prefix -g
/usr/local
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_modulesfolder, instead of the current working directory. - bin files are linked to
{prefix}/bin - man pages are linked to
{prefix}/share/man
