I use NVM even though I only need 1 version of NPM, it's just really convenient.
The fact that it installs things into home instead of root also eliminates permission headaches.

Hi I have the same error when installing prettier but that's not really my case I just tried it so we're on the same page. The thing is I have npm working fine before and after I installed php and mysql in my wsl ubuntu distro now npm run dev and npm run serve doesn't work suddenly, I have npm installed as well in laragon which I use in windows version for developing and works just fine and I want to use wsl for developing and this is one of the hardest issue I have so far.

Very useful video. I don't know why Linux distros package still package npm that way. I set the following variables for working `npm -g` and home folder cleanliness:
npm_config_prefix=${XDG_DATA_HOME}/npm
npm_config_userconfig=${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/npmrc
npm_config_cache=${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/npm
NODE_REPL_HISTORY=${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/node_repl_history

There is also a point to be made for not using npm -g at all and relying on npx instead...

This comment isnt related with this video but this is something bugging me. How do you manage cdrom with wm. Without using thunar or gui.

Personally I wouldn't prepend npm executables to my path but append it. I imagine a sneaky hacker could hijack common binaries using a npm module.

Did that once few years back and found that was huge mistake. It messed up the lib folder

'nvm' is SLOW you should use 'fnm' the fast node manager, you can also use 'n' as it is a NPM package making it easy to install

Glad I'm not the only one removing packages with the -Rcns flag. Some say to remove packages with -Rns, some say with -Rs. But I never really noticed a difference, so I just pass them all :p

Fun fact: /usr isn't actually short for "user", but for "unix system resources". Even though I know that, my mind still autocompletes to "user".

Nvm refused to support deno. For those bleeding edge addicts that upgraded to deno you can use dvm.
