# npm-prefix(1)

## Display prefix

### Synopsis

```bash
npm prefix [-g]
```

### Description

Print the local prefix to standard out. 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.
