How to make my NPM package package "npm WARN prefers global" when installing locally

Question

Difficult for google subj - there are too many user questions, mine is about package development. I want the user of my package to see that "npm WARN prefers global" when installing it non-globally.

I thought I had npm install yosuch a warning, but now it is not. At least I do not see this.

My environment:

  › npm --version
1.4.10
  › node -v
v0.10.28
