As of 13 December 2015    Whilst I found the accepted answer 100  correct  and useful  wished to expand upon it a little based on my own experiences  and hopefully for the benefit of others too   Here I am using the terms package and module interchangeably   In answer to the question  yes the accepted answer would be   npm list -g --depth 0   You might wish to check for a particular module installed globally  on  nix systems   when grep available  This is particularly useful when checking what version of a module you are using  globally installed  just remove the -g flag if checking a local module    npm list -g --depth 0   grep  lt module name gt    If you d like to see all available  remote  versions for a particular module  then do   npm view  lt module name gt  versions   Note  versions is plural  This will give you the full listing of versions to choose from   For latest remote version   npm view  lt module name gt  version     Note  version is singular   To find out which packages need to be updated  you can use   npm outdated -g --depth 0   To update global packages  you can use  npm update -g  lt package gt    To update all global packages  you can use   npm update -g    However  for npm versions less than 2 6 1  please also see this link as there is a special script that is recommended for globally updating all packages    The above commands should work across NPM versions 1 3 x  1 4 x  2 x and 3 x

npm ls   npm list is just an alias for npm ls  For the extended info use  npm la     npm ll   You can always set --depth 0 at the end to get the first level deep   npm ls --depth 0   You can check development and production packages   npm ls --only dev npm ls --only prod   To show the info in json format  npm ls --json true   The default is false  npm ls --json false   You can insist on long format to show extended information   npm ls --long true   You can show parseable output instead of tree view   npm ls --parseable true   You can list packages in the global install prefix instead of in the current project   npm ls --global true npm ls -g    shorthand   Full documentation you can find here
