title: npm-root
section: 1
description: Display npm root
---
### Synopsis
```bash
npm root
```
Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
### Description
Print the effective `node_modules` folder to standard out.
Useful for using npm in shell scripts that do things with the
`node_modules` folder. For example:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
global_node_modules="$(npm root --global)"
echo "Global packages installed in: ${global_node_modules}"
```
### 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`
