npm deprecated --global

[tchari]

Issue:
This may not be the correct repository for this issue, however, after installing the latest nodejs LTS (16.15.1) I'm getting this warning:
config global `--global`, `--local` are deprecated. Use `--location=global` instead
when using npm.

Somewhere the npm and npm.cmd files that are created include stuff like:
NPM_PREFIX=`"$NODE_EXE" "$NPM_CLI_JS" prefix -g

I don't know how these files are created or who is responsible so this repo may not the right place.

How To Reproduce:

1. Install NVM
2. nvm install 16.15.1
3. npm --version (8.11.0)

Expected Behavior:
For no deprecation warnings to appear.

Desktop:

• OS: Windows 11, PowerShell terminal

This is an npm issue not an nvm issue. You didn't show your version of NPM but i'd bet you're using v8.11.

Here's the link to the fix implemented in v8.12

npm/cli#4982

Yes you are correct, it's 8.11.0. I figured it probably wasn't an nvm issue. Is this just the npm version that node 18.15.1 bundles?
