--- title: npm-root section: 1 description: Display npm root --- ### Synopsis ```bash npm root ``` Note: This command is unaware of workspaces. ### 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}" ``` ### Configuration #### `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` ### See Also * [npm prefix](/commands/npm-prefix) * [npm folders](/configuring-npm/folders) * [npm config](/commands/npm-config) * [npmrc](/configuring-npm/npmrc)
