when installing global ackages, we do not need to specify NODE_PATH. but it is not configured beforehand thus when you want to import packages from there you will face issue.
for zsh/bash/fish:
1 | export NODE_PATH=<NODE_PATH> |
on windows just use the old school drill (open environment editor)
chech the exact path of NODE_PATH after invoking npm install -g <package_name>, then check if the installed package exists in that path you guessed.
on termux: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/node_modules
on kali: /usr/local/lib/node_modules (may be inaccurate)
on macos: /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules (nodejs installed via brew)
