```auto
nodered@sentry:~/.node-red/node_modules $ npm ls | sed '/deduped$/d' | wc -l
314

```

No comprendo. Manually copy/pasting the output to a texteditor gives 248 lines (not including .. and .). Mind you one item is a symlink to [my own copy of node-red-nodes](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/adding-a-reduce-option-to-the-smooth-node/15180/25) . But why the discrepancy?

**Edit:** The discrepancy of course comes from `npm ls` showing every installed module and `ls -l` in .node-red/node\_modules dir only those local to Node-RED.
