How to put all packages from package.gson globally?

Question

Node.js

Did I understand correctly that if an object is added to package.json

"config": {
    "global": true,
    "prefix": "/usr/local/lib"
  }

and node_modules will be in /usr/local/lib will node look for modules there? if it's true, then for some reason it didn't work for me...
I know, the question sounds strange, but the project is launched in docker (via virtualbox), and the host is windows, and if I try to simply `npm install` then I get errors about inability to create symlinks, and if I run npm install --no-bin-links, I get the message "Max callstack exceeded". If you put absolutely all dependencies globally, then both problems will be solved.
