How to change npm globally installation path

Question

Is it possible to change where you install your dependencies when doing npm install -g module? I know it installed in your C:/../{name}/Appdata..etc but I want to change the path on mine due to limited disk space.

I've installed node.js on an external disk which is fine and can do npm commands, but now I want the global dependencies to be installed on this disk as well.

Is there a way to do it?

You can configure it to new PATH by the following command -

npm config set prefix '~/.npm-new-global'
