Where is the default global node_modules folder on Ubuntu. For example where would this get installed: npm install -g gulp

Path of Global Packages in the system: Global modules are installed in the standard system in root location in system directory /usr/local/lib/node_modules project directory. Command to print the location on your system where all the global modules are installed.
On most systems, this is /usr/local . On Windows, it's %AppData%\npm . On Unix systems, it's one level up, since node is typically installed at {prefix}/bin/node rather than {prefix}/node.exe .
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. global packages are all put in a single place in your system (exactly where depends on your setup), regardless of where you run npm install -g <package-name>
Run npm root -g to see the location, which varies. A common path is /usr/local/lib/node_modules.
