# npm-run-path [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/npm-run-path.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/npm-run-path)
> Get your [PATH](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_(variable)) prepended with locally installed binaries
In [npm run scripts](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/run-script) you can execute locally installed binaries by name. This enables the same outside npm.
## Install
```
$ npm install --save npm-run-path
```
## Usage
```js
const childProcess = require('child_process');
const npmRunPath = require('npm-run-path');
console.log(process.env.PATH);
//=> '/usr/local/bin'
console.log(npmRunPath());
//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/dev/foo/node_modules/.bin:/Users/sindresorhus/dev/node_modules/.bin:/Users/sindresorhus/node_modules/.bin:/Users/node_modules/.bin:/node_modules/.bin:/usr/local/bin'
// `foo` is a locally installed binary
childProcess.execFileSync('foo', {
env: npmRunPath.env()
});
```
## API
### npmRunPath([options])
#### options
##### cwd
Type: `string`<br>
Default: `process.cwd()`
Working directory.
##### path
Type: `string`<br>
Default: [`PATH`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/path-key)
PATH to be appended.<br>
Set it to an empty string to exclude the default PATH.
### npmRunPath.env([options])
#### options
##### cwd
Type: `string`<br>
Default: `process.cwd()`
Working directory.
##### env
Type: `Object`
Accepts an object of environment variables, like `process.env`, and modifies the PATH using the correct [PATH key](https://github.com/sindresorhus/path-key). Use this if you're modifying the PATH for use in the `child_process` options.
