When I run npm install -g grunt-cli I get output about install location:
/home/XXX/.nvm/versions/node/v8.11.4/bin/grunt -> /home/XXX/.nvm/versions/node/v8.11.4/lib/node_modules/grunt-cli/bin/grunt
although my node installation is in different folder:




which npm

/opt/node.js/node/bin/npm




Some time back, I installed node using apt install, which installed Node.js 8.11.4. After it, I installed nvm. I was not happy with it and I uninstalled both, deleted ~/.nvm directory. Now npm install -g grunt-cli command creates ~/.nvm directory and does not add /home/XXX/.nvm/versions/node/v8.11.4/bin/grunt to the path (as documentation states).

None of environment variables point to ~/.nvm folder.

Why npm uses some leftovers and does not install in location where node is?

Trick was in ~/.npmrc file. It contained line:




prefix=/home/XXX/.nvm/versions/node/v8.11.4




It is leftover of nvm installation. After commenting this line installation was done to correct location.
