Storage Paths

utoo uses several directories for configuration, cache, and global packages.

Directory Structure

Path	Purpose
`~/.utoo/config.toml`	Global configuration file
`~/.cache/nm/`	Downloaded package tarballs
`{prefix}/lib/node_modules/`	Global package installations (same as npm)

When you install a package, utoo caches the tarball in ~/.cache/nm/:

Cached packages are reused across projects, speeding up subsequent installations.

Terminal


ut clean

Terminal


ut clean lodash
ut clean react*

Terminal


ut config get cache-dir

Globally installed packages are stored relative to utoo’s install location, same as npm (e.g., /usr/local/lib/node_modules/):

Terminal


# Install globally
ut install -g typescript
 
# Location
# /usr/local/lib/node_modules/typescript/
# /usr/local/bin/tsc

Terminal


ut config set cache-dir /path/to/cache --global

In each project, utoo uses:

File	Purpose
`package.json`	Dependencies manifest
`package-lock.json`	Dependency lock file
`node_modules/`	Installed packages
`.utoo.toml`	Project-specific config (optional)
