install express?

So I finished watching this video https://teamtreehouse.com/library/install-express, but I have a question did we install express for the entire computer if I used install express --save? or did we just add express to this specific project?

Hello Erik,

If you installed express using npm install express --save then you have installed it locally to the project. To install a package globally, you would use the -g flag to indicate a global install.

I hope this helps.
