### Synopsis
```bash
npm prefix [-g]
```
### 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`](/commands/npm-config) for more detail.
### Example
```bash
npm prefix
/usr/local/projects/foo
```
```bash
npm prefix -g
/usr/local
```
