List globally installed NPM Packages

One thing I keep googling is how to list my global npm modules. So for everybody who keeps forgetting this one-liner like me, here we go.

Packages installed through npm

npm list -g --depth=0

Right now this gives me following result:

/usr/local/lib
├── elm@0.19.0-bugfix2
├── elm-format@0.8.0
└── npm@6.2.0

All of these modules are installed globally through npm into /usr/local/lib/node_modules on Mac Os. To check the directory use npm root -g

If you have installed global packages through Yarn, then these will not be in the same directory. I know a lot of people, me included, assume this at first.

Packages installed through yarn

Yarn (default) adds packages to ~/.config/yarn/global. To see which ones are installed globally use

yarn global list

Right now I get the following output:

info "create-react-app@1.5.2" has binaries:
   - create-react-app
info "gatsby@1.9.270" has binaries:
   - gatsby
info "react-native-cli@2.0.1" has binaries:
   - react-native
