Did you read docs.npmjs.com/configuring-npm/npmrc.html#per-user-config-file? – Subtitle

Yes, I want to define global file , not per user. – Amplifier

But the path you describe is to the per-user file. The global file is next one down in the linked docs. – Subtitle

Where the global file is located in Windows? – Amplifier

Looks like it's in AppData/Roaming by default: https://mcmap.net/q/265830/-nodejs-npm-global-config-missing-on-windows/3001761 – Subtitle

So this is the problem I'm facing, AppData it's a folder inside C:\Users\<user>, I want the global .npmrc file to be elsewhere – Amplifier

Answer 1

I ran npm config set prefix C:\npm to change the prefix of the global npmrc location.

And then npm config get globalconfig to get the exact expected global location (which is C:\npm\etc\npmrc).

I navigated to this location and defined my global npmrc there (I had to create the etc folder myself.
