you can change temporary : npm config set prefix C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules2

• change the Path in Environment Variables set C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules2

• Run your command to install your package .

• open file explorer copy the link C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules

  ok file yourpackage.CMD created another folder Created "node_modules2" in node_modules and contain your package folder.

• copy your package file CMD to parent folder "npm"

• copy your package folder to parent folder "node_modules"

• now run npm config set prefix C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm

• change the Path in Environment Variables set C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm

• now package working correctly with Command line

=> this method working with me When npm block in installation Package for IONIC installation and ReactNative and another package npm.

Run npm root -g, copy the result path and add it to the paths file:

In my case, I have just uninstalled ionic and then reinstalled it. And it is working fine now.

Answer 5

Well I found it finally.

The ionic installation was at /home/guy/npm/bin/ionic, not at /usr/bin/ionic at it should be.

Solved it with:

sudo ln -s /home/guy/npm/bin/ionic /usr/bin/ionic

Thanks!
