Where does npm store node modules?

I just setup official node.js on windows which includes npm in custom directory d:\myserver\nodejs

I tested npm with 

npm install less

it works but I can't see any less directory in node_modules\npm\node_modules subdirectory.

Where could I find it (I guess the name of less module is actually less).

Just for further clarification, google brought me here while looking up where global modules are stored (installed via npm install -g ...).

From the documentation

  • Local install (default): puts stuff in ./node_modules of the current package root.
  • Global install (with -g): puts stuff in /usr/local or wherever node is installed.
  • Install it locally if you’re going to require() it.
  • Install it globally if you’re going to run it on the command line.
  • If you need both, then install it in both places, or use npm link.
