Running npm to get root tools without root access

By
Perfect! Let’s set up npm on Termux/Linux so you can install global packages without sudo and get real-time script output. This is a clean, “upgraded” setup. --- Step 1: Create a global npm directory mkdir ~/.npm-global This will be the new location for all global npm packages. --- Step 2: Configure npm to use this directory npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global' npm config set foreground-scripts true prefix → tells npm where to install global packages. foreground-scripts → ensures scripts run in the foreground so you can see output immediately. --- Step 3: Add the npm global bin to your PATH Edit your shell profile (~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc) and add: export PATH="$HOME/.npm-global/bin:$PATH" Then reload your shell: source ~/.bashrc # or source ~/.zshrc Check if it worked: echo $PATH npm -v --- Step 4: Test installing a global package npm install -g nodemon nodemon -v Should install without sudo. Should be executable immediately from any terminal session. --- ✅ Bonus: You now have a fully user-level npm setup. No sudo needed, no permissions errors, and lifecycle scripts run in the foreground.

Bash Cheetsheet

By
Top 25 created and custom command 4th, February, 2023  The command line is something every developer should learn and implement into their daily routine.

For example, you can write scripts to automate daily, time-consuming tasks, and even quickly commit and push code to a Git repository with just a few simple commands. In this post, we’ll look at the Bash Shell (Bourne Again SHell), which is a command-line interface (CLI) and is currently the most widely used shell. This is a light introduction to the most popular commands, when you’re most likely to use them, and how to extend them with options. Later on in this article, you’ll learn how to create your own custom commands (aliases), allowing you to create shortcuts for a single command or a group of commands. When it comes down to it, if you don’t know the comma...
