26 ```

28 ### Description
29
30 Print the local prefix to standard out. This is the closest parent directory to contain a `package.json` file or `node_modules` directory, unless `-g` is also specified.
31
32 If `-g` is specified, this will be the value of the global prefix. See [`npm config`](/cli/v6/commands/npm-config) for more detail.
