npm install --global (for all dependencies on package.json)

I would like to install all the dependencies of my package.json file globally. I tried Running

npm install -g

But this will install the dependencies of the package locally.

Is it possible to install all my package dependencies globally?

Save the following content in root of project as package.js

let json = require('./package.json')
const ob = json
var a = 'npm i -g '
// @types/slug ^0.9.1
Object.entries(ob['dependencies']).forEach(e => {
    a = a + ' ' + e[0] + '@' + e[1] + ' '
    // console.log(e[0], )
})
const { exec } = require('child_process')
console.log('dependencies', a)
exec(a, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
    if (err) {
        //some err occurred
        console.error(err)
    } else {
        // the *entire* stdout and stderr (buffered)
        console.log(`stdout: ${stdout}`)
        console.log(`stderr: ${stderr}`)
    }
})


var b = 'npm i -g '
// @types/slug ^0.9.1
Object.entries(ob['devDependencies']).forEach(e => {
    b = b + ' ' + e[0] + '@' + e[1] + ' '
    // console.log(e[0], )
})
console.log('devDependencies', b)
exec(b, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
    if (err) {
        //some err occurred
        console.error(err)
    } else {
        // the *entire* stdout and stderr (buffered)
        console.log(`stdout: ${stdout}`)
        console.log(`stderr: ${stderr}`)
    }
})

now run node package.js run it as sudo node package.js if face admin issue
