This is the closest parent directory to contain a `package.json` file or `node_modules` directory, unless `-g` is also specified. If `-g` is specified, this will be the value of the global prefix. See [`npm config`](/cli-commands/npm-config) for more detail. ### See Also * [npm root](/cli-commands/npm-root) * [npm bin](/cli-commands/npm-bin) * [npm folders](/configuring-npm/folders) * [npm config](/cli-commands/npm-config) * [npmrc](/configuring-npm/npmrc)
