npm: Download a package and install it globally.
$ npm install --global ${module_name}
try on your machine
This command is used to install a Node Package Manager (npm) module globally on your system.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
npm install
: This is the npm command used to install packages or modules.--global
: This flag specifies that the module should be installed globally on your system. When a module is installed globally, it is available across all projects and can be accessed from the command line.${module_name}
: This is a placeholder representing the name of the module you want to install. You should replace${module_name}
with the actual name of the module you want to install. For example, if you want to install the "lodash" module globally, you would replace${module_name}
with "lodash".
So, when you run the command npm install --global lodash
, it will install the "lodash" module globally on your system, allowing you to use it in any project and from the command line.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
