Any way to use this as global module? #694

I enjoyed using this tool, but having to install 185mb (22 200 Files, 3 283 Folders) for a simple 2-page website is tedious. Is there any way to install this as a global tool somwhere in "program files" one time (Like you can do with Prepros) and then maybe call it from the directory that needs a build\serve?

I found out that NPM looks for modules in parent folder, so now I just install generator-webapp once and then create a subfolder for each project without having to install all the node_modules for each project :sunglasses:
