node.js - npm path and installation issues - suggestions -
i have used install nodejs on d:\ drive instead of c , have set environment variables d drive node & npm folders.
then changed npm installation path "prefix=d:\node\node_modules\npm " on "npmrc" file. confirm user based modules pointing on d drive npm folder instead of appdata.
i tried install express js globally , used check package tree on cli mentioned below, npm ll -g
while trying command getting npm extraneous err,
please suggest me way have use npm path , installation stuffs.
thanks in advance.
it might seem idea install packages globally, 1 great reason not to.
often used packages express
, , cookies
should kept local package. because of versioning issues. might have 1 package using express2
, new 1 wants use express3
. have trouble if global install. when in doubt leave off -g
, , use --save
instead. (this adds package npm
dependencies list.)
on other hand, command line tools mocha
, yeoman
, , uh not else know of should installed -g
flag.
i'm not of windows person, you'll have little yourself, recommend not installing node hand, instead using version manager nvm
stuff. here's nvm
