Specify path to node_modules in package.json

by

yes you can, just set the NODE_PATH env variable :

export NODE_PATH='yourdir'/node_modules

According to the doc :

If the NODE_PATH environment variable is set to a colon-delimited list
of absolute paths, then node will search those paths for modules if
they are not found elsewhere. (Note: On Windows, NODE_PATH is
delimited by semicolons instead of colons.)

Additionally, node will search in the following locations:

1: $HOME/.node_modules

2: $HOME/.node_libraries

3: $PREFIX/lib/node

Where $HOME is the user’s home directory, and $PREFIX is node’s
configured node_prefix.

These are mostly for historic reasons. You are highly encouraged to
place your dependencies locally in node_modules folders. They will be
loaded faster, and more reliably.
