Error:

npm i -g --prefix xxx serve will install stuff to different folders. I'm taking serve as an example here because it has less dependencies:

On linux (npm 8.8.0):

xxx/bin
xxx/bin/serve
xxx/lib
xxx/lib/node_modules
xxx/lib/node_modules/serve/
xxx/lib/node_modules/serve/{package files here}

On windows (npm 9.8.1):

xxx/serve
xxx/serve.cmd
xxx/serve.ps1
xxx/node_modules
xxx/node_modules/serve
xxx/node_modules/serve/{package files here}

Need to check why this is happening, is that OS-specific behavior or something else.

removed "Windows" from the issue title, since not sure if this is OS-specific

Seems solution is to repeat path after --prefix Or use cd with extra package.json explicit.
