Each time I go to set up npm I am frustrated by the errors saying that I don't
have permission to npm i -g <package>, and it's frustrating. And I forget
what I need to do to tell npm to install packages in a directory I own, and my
shell to look there so that I can use the executables.
mkdir ~/.npm-global export NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=~/.npm-global export PATH=$PATH:~/.npm-global/bin
For the fix to remain persistent you need to put these two lines in your shell
profile like ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc.
export NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=~/.npm-global export PATH=$PATH:~/.npm-global/bin
