What you really want is to override the default configuration: create a new file C:\Users\<user>\.config\peerflix-server\config.json and paste this:

{
  "tmp": "f:/<your-folder>"
}

When you run npm -g i, it will install with the rest of the global npm modules.
If you run npm i without -g, it will install into the current folder, but it will no longer be in the PATH, so you'll have to call it by full path, or by running npm start when you cd inside node_modules.
