How can i make a npm package that can be installed in global

Question

I want to make a npm package and can be installed as global,but when i publish a package,it can't be used in global,what should i do ?

I clone grunt-cli from github,I just want to test whether it can be installed in global,but i failed. What should i do?

What does "can't be used in global" mean? Anything can be installed globally, but without seeing any code, it will be hard to give more specific help. — loganfsmyth, May 02 '15 at 16:29

To install a package as a global package you need to run npm install -g packagename.

On Mac and Linux you need to run sudo npm install -g packagename.
