NPM prefix flag does not work as expected on windows

node.js windows npm command-line-interface

You need to add the same path after the --cwd option.

npm install --prefix <YOUR_PATH> --cwd <YOUR_PATH>

node.js windows npm command-line-interface

The already accepted answer is correct however it doesn't work on linux.

npm install --prefix your/path --cwd your/path

this works fine on windows, however on linux it gives ENOWORKSPACES: This command does not support workspaces.

To make sure that it works on both just omit the --cwd part like so:

npm install --prefix your/path your/path
