NPM Install global packages without sudo

Thanks to John Papa: https://johnpapa.net/how-to-use-npm-global-without-sudo-on-osx/

1. Pre-requisites: npm should be installed

2. make a directory:

mkdir ~/.npm-global

3. tell npm where to find/install global packages

npm config set prefix ~/.npm-global

Extra step so that it’s available in the environment variable:

Update bash profile (in *nx or mac) – update or create ~/.bash_profile:

NPM_PACKAGES=~/.npm_global/bin

PATH=”$NPM_PACKAGES:${PATH}”

export PATH
