change npm install path for global packages to a custom directory

Question

I want to configure my node setup such that it stores global modules (installed using npm install -g <pkg> to (and also reads from) a custom directory D:\node_modules. default path is C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm . Any pointers would be much appreciated.

OS is Windows.

Found answer in npm help. Had to set prefix config:

D:> npm config set prefix "D:\node_modules"
