This is unlikely, however, since that hasn't been a feature for quite some time, and modern bash also tries the slow way if the fast cached path is not present. configure -prefix/usr make all doc info sudo make install install-doc install-html. there's a slim chance your shell is remembering that that wasn't a command - a few old versions of bash cached negative lookups in addition to positive ones, and if you had it previously, and it was removed, your shell could remember the old path. sudo ln -s /usr/bin/db2xdocbook2texi /usr/bin/docbook2x-texi. you did install it, but there was an error - it would have shown, but sometimes people miss these. Now, add the following line to the /. Next, if you don't already have a file called /.profile, create one in your root user directory. I would really have expected set prefix to be able to modify the npn config files created by itself though. To get started, we're going to create a new folder called global-modules and set the npm prefix to it: mkdir /.global-modules npm config set prefix '/.global-modules'. npmrc file and retry the set prefix command to make it work.

If /usr/local/bin is in your path, try 'npm config set prefix /usr/local' Seems like the first time I tried to set prefix I did use a wrong path string. you did install it globally, but it's not in your PATH: 'npm config get prefix' - make sure that path with /bin at the end is in your PATH environment variable, or adjust the npm prefix with 'npm config set prefix' to be somewhere that is in the path. nvm can’t ensure that users don’t override that beyond the nvm use call. If -g is specified, this will be the value of the global prefix. The npm prefix is set by npmrc, or an environment variable, or npm has its own default.

but after you run npm config set save-prefix it will be set to 1.2.4 which only will only allow patch upgrades. This is the closest parent directory to contain a package.json file or nodemodules directory, unless -g is also specified. When you are in 'dev' or 'development' and you are running local npm shrinkwrap, npm outdated, or npm update, is an alias for -dev. In that case, it's in your current project's node_modules/.bin directory. Print the local prefix to standard output. There's several things that can go wrong here: > i am not able to use nodemon in linux system? it says nodemon command not found.

Npm config set prefix usr local
