How to install a module globally

To make a certain package available globally, we will use the below command:

npm install -g <package-name>

This -g will make sure the package is installed in the system directory and thus it’s available globally. The installation of a global module is a little different from the normal one.

export NODE_PATH=$(npm root --quiet -g)
