How to find package installed globally with YARN or npm

Question

How I can find out package installed globally with Yarn or npm? (I can't remember package installed with which one!)

let me describe more:

I had install Vuejs with help its installation document; On that described I can use tow way to install it:

npm install -g @vue/cli
# OR
yarn global add @vue/cli

and now I can remember how I instaled VueJS, with npm or yarn?! I have this problem with JHipster and Quasar Framework and Vuetify, after a while I forget how they had installed on my system! :-/

It's unclear what you're asking... can you be more specific? Within a project all dependencies from either tool are placed in `node_modules` — Jordan Kasper, Aug 05 '18 at 22:15
yes of course, I installed vue-cli, and now i want update it, but can't remember how i instlled vue! with npm -i -g vue-cli or yarn add global vue-cli? — GLinBoy, Aug 06 '18 at 04:03

Check your folder have yarn.lock(installed with yarn) or package-lock.json/npm-shrinkwrap.json(installed with npm).

For global libraries, you can check lib of yarn

yarn global list

to see list global libraries installed with yarn

and checklist global libraries installed with npm

npm list -g

thanks @Hongarc, I modify my question. your solution is for package installed on project; – GLinBoy Sep 08 '18 at 16:36
You should check list installed with `npm` and `yarn` – hong4rc Sep 08 '18 at 17:12
I would say `npm list -g --depth 0` is a better equivalent to yarn's global list – Nermin Aug 20 '21 at 12:33
