| 9 | **Tip:** If you are using npm 5.2 or higher, we recommend using `npx` to run packages globally. |

| 13 | [Installing][cli-install] a package globally allows you to use the code in the package as a set of tools on your local computer. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | To download and install packages globally, on the command line, run the following command: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ``` |
| 18 | npm install -g <package_name> |
| 19 | ``` |

| 21 | If you get an EACCES permissions error, you may need to reinstall npm with a version manager or manually change npm's default directory. For more information, see "[Resolving EACCES permissions errors when installing packages globally][perm-errors]". |
