    Installing Packages Without Adding Them to a Current Project

    Source

    When you install something via npm the default behavior is for npm to add the package to the package.json of your current project which is under the node_modules folder.

    You can avoid this by appending a -g to the end of the install command. So for example:

    npm install pino-pretty -g

    #JavaScript
    #npm
