# NPM

*   Install NPM packages globally without requiring sudo. ([source][1])
*   Save exact version instead of a 'loose' version. ([source][2])

Create directory for global packages

`mkdir ~/.npm-packages`

Create a symlink for `.npmrc`

`ln -s ~/.dotfiles/npm/npmrc ~/.npmrc`

Shell wizardry

`ln -s ~/.dotfiles/npm/npm.zsh ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/npm.zsh`
