Do you mean "CWD" instead of "PWD" here?

where is already coupled to isGlobalInstall:
const isGlobalInstall = this.npm.global
const where = isGlobalInstall ? globalTop : this.npm.prefix
I suspect we don't need both tested here.

closes #6960
Currently, when running
npm install, if the--prefixflag is provided and set to the current working directory, this triggers some logic intended for a global install. Specifically, it makesnpm.globalDirandnpm.prefixthe same. This causes the package ["."] to be included in the dependencies needed, adding a reference to the current directory to package.json as an emptyfile:dependency.This PR ensures that the global install logic in
install.jsis only run for global installs.
