So i tried again with customized PATH variable. I called the install.sh it like: "PATH=/home/thomas/Projekte/Privat/node-boilerplate-app/bin:$PATH npm_config_prefix=/home/thomas/Projekte/Privat/node-boilerplate-app /home/thomas/Projekte/Privat/node-boilerplate-app/install.sh" I have a node binary installed in '/home/thomas/Projekte/Privat/node-boilerplate-app/bin' which is the first directory in the $PATH env. When i call "/home/thomas/Projekte/Privat/node-boilerplate-app/bin/npm config ls -l" afterwards i get the following:
