Adding to $PATH for a central location for Neovim/NPM tools

This technical article explains a method for developers to install Language Server Protocols (LSPs) and other NPM tools for Neovim in a single, user-controlled directory (e.g., ~/.local/share/nvim/spec). It details how to configure the $PATH to point to this location, enabling version-locked, non-global installations that are ideal for restrictive work environments or for avoiding system-wide conflicts. The guide includes specific shell configuration examples and important caveats for NPM behavior.
