npm isntalls to nodist dir after uninstallation

[tomyam1]

I tried nodist but decided not to use it for now.

I followed the un-installation instructions, and can verify that:

1. The string "nodist" appears nowhere in my env.
2. I deleted the nodist directory.

I than installed nodejs from nodejs.org.

The problem - every module I install with npm -g goes to nodist/bin directory.

I suspect it has something to do with a soft link created by nodist that was not removed.

Any ideas?

You need to reset npm prefix:

In installation notes you have last point saying to run

npm config set prefix %NODIST_PREFIX%\bin

It's missing its counterpart in uninstall notes

I get an error:

> C:\Program Files\ConEmu>npm config set prefix C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm
Error: ENOENT, stat 'F:\tepez\nodist\bin'

Solved by temporarily creating a folder F:\tepez\nodist\bin.
