---title: npm-prefixsection: 1description: Display prefix--- ### Synopsis ```bashnpm prefix``` Note: This command is unaware of workspaces. ### Description Print the local prefix to standard output.This is the closest parent directory to contain a `package.json` file or `node_modules` directory, unless `-g` is also specified. If `-g` is specified, this will be the value of the global prefix.See [`npm config`](/commands/npm-config) for more detail. ### Example ```bashnpm prefix/usr/local/projects/foo``` ```bashnpm prefix -g/usr/local``` ### Configuration #### `global` * Default: false* Type: Boolean Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the `prefix`folder instead of the current working directory. See[folders](/configuring-npm/folders) for more on the differences in behavior. * packages are installed into the `{prefix}/lib/node_modules` folder, instead of the current working directory.* bin files are linked to `{prefix}/bin`* man pages are linked to `{prefix}/share/man` ### See Also * [npm root](/commands/npm-root)* [npm folders](/configuring-npm/folders)* [npm config](/commands/npm-config)* [npmrc](/configuring-npm/npmrc)
