I am installing grunt, node, npm, bower, and grunt-cli on windows7.
The instructions say i should run the install commands with -g flag for global.
How can I check if I used the -g flag when i installed. It will take a lot of time to uninstall them and reinstall.

Use the
list
command with the-g
flag to see all packages that are installed globally:npm list -g
To check if a specific package is installed globally, you can provide the name of package (
grunt
in this case) as seen below:npm list -g grunt
Or you can use
grep
to filter on package names:npm list -g | grep grunt
