Managing Pre-existing Global NPM Packages After Installing NVM
·244 words·2 mins
Today I encountered a problem:
After installing nvm, the path for installing global packages changed,
making it impossible to directly remove previously installed global packages using npm uninstall -g.
How did I discover this?
A long time ago, I installed a global package that could be executed directly from the terminal using a command.
But because it was so long ago,
when I tried to upgrade that package, I found it wasn’t listed in npm list -g.
