Answer 1

you can set path for npm_packages.

please find below example - its done on linux, similarly, you might have to do things on your platform

mkdir "${HOME}/.npm-packages"
nano $HOME/.bashrc
NPM_PACKAGES="${HOME}/.npm-packages"
NODE_PATH="$NPM_PACKAGES/lib/node_modules:$NODE_PATH"
PATH="$NPM_PACKAGES/bin:$PATH"
unset MANPATH
MANPATH="$NPM_PACKAGES/share/man:$(manpath)"
#Save and exit
nano $HOME/.npmrc
prefix=${HOME}/.npm-packages
#Save and exit
source ~/.bashrc

UPDATE: i haven't used windows for quite sometime, but what you should do is -> set NPM_PACKAGES in your $PATH(env etc) also add NPM_PACKAGES onto NODE_PATH . next you edit .npmrc and add a prefix in here, something like prefix=${HOME}/.npm-packages
