Change the NPM global module and cache default installation location

From: http://blog.csdn.net/friendan/article/details/51736231

1. Since I installed node. js with NPM, create the following two directories in the Nodejs folder:
Node_global

Node_cache

2. Start cmd and execute the following two commands sequentially
NPM config set prefix "Xxx\nodejs\node_global"
NPM config set cache "Xxx\nodejs\node_cache"


3. Set Environment variables:
Node_path = Xxx\node\nodejs
PATH =%node_path%\;%node_path%\node_modules;%node_path%\node_global;


4. Restart the system or restart the Explorer.exe to make the environment variable effective.


5, install the module to try the above settings are effective

NPM Install EXPRESS-G//-G means installing to the global directory, which is the Xxx\nodejs\node_global set above

Test results, make a record
