I trying uninstall package, who I installed by:
npx terminalgpt
I trying:
npm uninstall -g terminalgpt
But is not working, how I can uninstall this package?
you don't have to
If any requested packages are not present in the local project dependencies, then they are installed to a folder in the npm cache, which is added to the PATH environment variable in the executed process.
— from npx doc
that cache folder is like a temporary folder you don't have to specially care yourself about.
If you really want to clean your cache, see npm cache doc

I've been trying to remove some packages that I installed with npm but it doesn't remove them. After running npm uninstall -g package the package is still executable in my terminal and it is still in the path where npm binaries are being installed.
Also, why is npm installing packages in ~/.local/share/npm/bin/ ? It's the first time that I've seem npm installing packages there. I had a problem a few weeks ago when installing some language servers but they weren't executable, turns out I had to add ~/.local/share/npm/bin to my $PATH because that's where npm was installing everything. And now npm doesn't remove any package installed there. I've already look into the npm config (npmrc) but I don't see any option changing the install path. The only environment variable related to npm that I have is to set the user config in ~/.config/npm instead of ~/.npmrc.
I have others machines with the exact same settings and npm it's not installing packages in ~/.local/share/npm/bin/ and I'm able to uninstall packages normally.
Does anyone knows whats wrong with npm ?
npm --version 7.8.0
my config:
cache=/home/user/.cache/npm
init-module=/home/user/.config/npm/config/npm-init.js
package-lock=false
tmp=/run/user/1000/npm
Okay I noticed that if I reinstalled the packages that I couldn't remove they went into a different folder /user/bin/ with the node_modules being in /user/lib/node_modules. Before it was in ~/.local/share/npm/lib. Now with the packages were they belong I can't remove them without issues. No idea why those packages were originally installed in a different path.
I have 2 projects(packages) in npm, I want to inject package_A as dependency to package_B. In package_A root folder, I run npm install -g, then npm install it to C:\Users\Myuser\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_moduls\package_A folder. Now in packages.json in package_B I add "package_A": "1.0.0" in dependencies. When in package_B root file I run npm install, its failed package_A#1.0.0 not found.
How can I identified npm to its my own local package?
Notes:
We are a team, then I don't want to address package_A explicitly.
We are using nexus repository manager.
I don't want to publish my projects to http://registry.npmjs.org/.
I'm not 100% clear what you have tried. If you are going to use a custom module for another application you are developing, installing globally won't do the trick. You have to publish that module in npm.
Check this link for more info on publishing in npm
If you have completed the steps correctly, and still no good happens, please check your naming of the module in package.json file.
Instead of typing in the name and version number in package.json file and then npm install, try directly installing in the terminal with --save so that it will automatically be added to package.json file with correct spelling.
Before publishing my node library, I could use the advice the npm documentation wrote about:
To test a local install, go into some other folder, and then do:
cd ../some-other-folder
npm install ../my-package
Prior to version 5 of npm, I had no problem as it produce what I expected, ie a folder with the output of what I will publish.
However, using npm 5, it now creates a symlink to my local project as described in the npm documentation:
npm install :
Install the package in the directory as a symlink in the current
project. Its dependencies will be installed before it's linked. If
sits inside the root of your project, its dependencies may be
hoisted to the toplevel node_modules as they would for other types of
dependencies.
How can I use the "old" way to install local project? Or is there a new way to check if my library is correct?
Thank you.
Use npm pack + npm install (as suggested by install-local package)
npm pack <path-to-local-package>
npm install <package-version.tgz>
This will effectively copy your local package to node_modules.
Note that this will package only production relevant files (those listed in the files section of your package.json). So, you can install it in a test app under the package own directory. Something like this:
my-package
package.json
test
test-app
package.json
node_modules
my-package
Assuming that test dir is not included in the files in my-package/package.json.
This works the same way with npm 5 and older versions.
I wrote npm-install-offline which allows you to install npm packages from a local repository or folder. By default it copies the folder on install but you can also choose to symlink.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-install-offline
npx npm-install-offline ../some-package
Or
npx npm-install-offline my-npm-package --repo ./my-offline-npm
It also will install the package dependencies which npm does not do with local packages.
I have a project about 4 months and suddenly the aurelia's CLI commands are not working.
When I try to execute au run --watch I receive a message with options to create a new project under the path.
I have already tried to uninstall and reinstall the aurelia CLI, It's not work.
The last thing I have done was to execute a git clean -xdf
I think that could be something on my project. Someone could help me?
ANSWER
After some attempts I fixed the problem:
1) I reinstall Git and Node;
2) I have deleted all the files under the \AppData\Roaming\npm-cache path;
3) I have checked if the Git and Node were in the PATH of environment variables;
4) I run the npm install command;
Is aurelia-cli included in the devDependencies of the project and also installed globally?
First, install globally:
npm i -g aurelia-cli
Then, in the project directory, install & save to devDependencies:
npm i --save-dev aurelia-cli
You should then be able to run au in the project directory and see that the build and run commands are now available.
Note that you'll also need to install the necessary gulp dependencies required by the tasks in your project devDependencies.
EDIT: See aurelia/cli/issues/485 which confirms that installing aurelia-cli as a local dependency fixes this issue.
When I run npm install . it takes a while to build packages that contain c code like expresso (which depends on node-jscoverage). I realized that I can copy expresso from my global package directory (~/Developer/lib/node_modules/expresso) to ./node_modules/expresso in my current directory before running npm install . and it won't bother compiling it. Is there a way to tell npm to try to install packages from my global npm directory before fetching and building them?
I guess this command might help: npm link
