is installed globally or locally. By default checks if it exists in globally installed modules, using [global-modules][]. Pass opts.local to check if it exists in locally installed modules or in opts.cwd dir.Params
*
name {String}: package name
* opts {Object}: pass opts.local to check locally
* returns {Promise}: always resolved promise, never rejected Example
`js
const detectInstalled = require('detect-installed')detectInstalled('npm').then((exists) => {
console.log(exists) // => true
})
detectInstalled('foo-bar-barwerwlekrjw').then((exists) => {
console.log(exists) // => false
})
detectInstalled('npm', {
local: true
}).then((exists) => {
console.log(exists) // => false
})
detectInstalled('global-modules', {
local: true
}).then((exists) => {
console.log(exists) // => true
})
// If you are using it for some sub-directory
// pass
opts.cwd to be where the node_modules
// folder is.
process.chidr('foo-bar-baz')
detectInstalled('global-modules', {
local: true,
cwd: '../'
}).then((exists) => console.log(exists)) // => true

> Synchronously check if package name exists as locally or globally installed modules.Params
*
name {String}: package name
* opts {Object}: pass opts.local to check locally
* returns {Boolean}: false, if error or not exists globally/locally Example
`js
const detectInstalled = require('detect-installed')const exists = detectInstalled.sync('npm') // => true

Pull requests and stars are always welcome. For bugs and feature requests, please create an issue.
Please read the contributing guidelines for advice on opening issues, pull requests, and coding standards.
If you need some help and can spent some cash, feel free to contact me at CodeMentor.io too.In short: If you want to contribute to that project, please follow these things
1. Please DO NOT edit README.md, CHANGELOG.md and .verb.md files. See "Building docs" section.
2. Ensure anything is okey by installing the dependencies and run the tests. See "Running tests" section.
3. Always use
npm run commit to commit changes instead of git commit, because it is interactive and user-friendly. It uses [commitizen][] behind the scenes, which follows Conventional Changelog idealogy.
4. Do NOT bump the version in package.json. For that we use npm run release, which is [standard-version][] and follows Conventional Changelog idealogy.Thanks a lot! :)
Building docs
Documentation and that readme is generated using [verb-generate-readme][], which is a [verb][] generator, so you need to install both of them and then run verb command like that`
$ npm install verbose/verb#dev verb-generate-readme --global && verb
`_Please don't edit the README directly. Any changes to the readme must be made in .verb.md._
Running tests
Clone repository and run the following in that cloned directory`
$ npm install && npm test
``+ github/tunnckoCore
+ twitter/tunnckoCore
+ codementor/tunnckoCore
