Install npm packages globally without sudo on macOS and Linux

npm installs packages locally within your projects by default. You can also install packages globally (e.g. npm install -g <package>) (useful for command-line apps). However the downside of this is that you need to be root (or use sudo) to be able to install globally.

Here is a way to install packages globally for a given user.

1. Create a directory for global packages

mkdir "${HOME}/.npm-packages"

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Copy the file "foobar.txt" from a remote host to the local host
scp your_username@remotehost.edu:foobar.txt /some/local/directory

# Copy the file "foobar.txt" from the local host to a remote host
scp foobar.txt your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory

# Copy the directory "foo" from the local host to a remote host's directory "bar"
scp -r foo your_username@remotehost.edu:/some/remote/directory/bar

$AUTH=(xauth list | grep unix(echo $DISPLAY | cut -c10-12))
export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
