Fish shell: Add NPM Globals to PATH
Raw
fish-add-npm-global-to-path.md

fish version installed (2.4.0):

Ubuntu 16.04: LinuxBrew (Homebrew 1.1.6) npm 4.0.5

If you guys are having troubles running your globally installed npm modules, you just need to find the bin folder in my case is located here:

~/.linuxbrew/Cellar/node/7.0.0/bin

then you just need to prepend that location to your $fish_user_paths like the docs tell.

set -U fish_user_paths ~/.linuxbrew/Cellar/node/7.0.0/bin $fish_user_paths

Please notice that the PATH is linked to certain node version, if yours change, you need to update the path. If you are handling two or more node versions and each have different global installed then you should update $fish_user_paths to your needs
