npm global path prefix

npmGlobalPathSettings.txt

npm global path prefix:

Extending your PATH with

$ export PATH=/usr/local/share/npm/bin:$PATH


Run this:

$ npm config get prefix

The default on OS X is /usr/local, which means that npm will symlink binaries into /usr/local/bin, which should already be on your PATH (especially if you're using Homebrew).

So:

$ npm config set prefix /usr/local (if it's something else)

If you installed npm as sudo (sudo brew install), try reinstalling it with plain ol' brew install. Homebrew is supposed to help keep you sudo-free.
