Detailed explanation of the steps to modify the path of npm global installation mode

This time I will bring you a detailed explanation of the path steps for modifying the npm global installation mode. What are the precautions for modifying the path of the npm global installation mode? The following is a practical case. Get up and take a look.

Before I formally write this article, I have to talk about a little history of blood and tears.

I just learned nodeJS not long ago, and I was wondering why the global installation module was not found in 'node installation directory/node_modules‘! Later, I carefully looked at the information after the installation was successful, and found out that it was automatically installed on the C drive. Oh my God, the C drive must not be used to store these things, so I went online to Baidu.

Method 1: (Arrived on Baidu, but it doesn’t work for me....)

Open 'nodejs installation directory/node_modules/npm/.npmrc' and modify this file to:

prefix = G:\nodejs\npm_global_modules

Okay, try npm install bootstrap -g. Is it installed in the specified directory?

If this method doesn’t work for you, you can try the second method!

Method 2:

1. Open Node.js Command prompt and execute npm config ls

So you can see clearly...

2. Modify the value of prefix: npm config set prefix *

It’s done~~~

Summary: A simple question, the reason why it was solved For most of the day, it boils down to a question of learning methods. If you encounter such a problem, check the help document npm help install or google to get the answer quickly. (Also, don’t be too resistant to English documents~~)

I believe you have mastered the method after reading the case in this article. For more exciting information, please pay attention to other related articles on the php Chinese website!
