This is the directory where you can install NPM locally as user and not requiring root/admin, making things much more easy and portable.

Now when you do an npm install -g, NPM will install the libraries into ~/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules, and link executable tools into ~/.npm-packages/bin, which is in your PATH.


If you want to change this behaviour configured in elive you must edit (or delete):
- the file ~/.npmrc where is set the prefix of your npm packages
- the NPM_PACKAGES and NODE_PATH variables which are by default defined in /etc/zsh/zshrc.elive.zsh , so replace them or edit it in your .zsh* local files
