I have a downloaded module repo, I want to install it locally, not globally in another directory?
What is an easy way to do this?

Simply run: $ npx [options] <command>[@version] [command-arg]... By default, npx will check whether <command> exists in $PATH , or in the local project binaries, and execute that.
Local Installation of Packages: Local packages are installed in the directory where you run npm install <package-name> and they are put in the node_modules folder under this directory.
It's best to install locally when relying on a package from your module, such as Node. js. This is how npm install works by default. The grunt CLI package, for example, must be installed globally before it can be used as a command-line tool.
Using nvm (Node.js Version Manager) makes it easier to install and manage multiple versions of Node.js on a single local environment.
you just provide one <folder> argument to npm install, argument should point toward the local folder instead of the package name:
npm install /path From the npm-link documentation:
In the local module directory:
$ cd ./package-dir $ npm link In the directory of the project to use the module:
$ cd ./project-dir $ npm link package-name Or in one go using relative paths:
$ cd ./project-dir $ npm link ../package-dir This is equivalent to using two commands above under the hood.
