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

#### `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](/configuring-npm/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`
