How to install packages to global /usr/lib/node_modules

[popravich]

Hi,

Currently to install some package to global node_modules I have to run something like this:

$ cd /usr/lib/node_modules
$ sudo ied install react

Is there a better way or am I missing something?

my env is:
ied v1.1.1 @ ubuntu 16.04

Currently --global isn't implemented. PR welcome.

Globals are pretty much an anti-pattern. It's nice that IED does not support it.

Unless you're using containers. In that case, local installations are pretty much anti-pattern.

I guess that would be the exception, which is also the minority at this point.
