| # import-local [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/import-local)
 | |
| 
 | |
| > Let a globally installed package use a locally installed version of itself if available
 | |
| 
 | |
| Useful for CLI tools that want to defer to the user's locally installed version when available, but still work if it's not installed locally. For example, [AVA](http://ava.li) and [XO](https://github.com/xojs/xo) uses this method.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Install
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| $ npm install import-local
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Usage
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| const importLocal = require('import-local');
 | |
| 
 | |
| if (importLocal(__filename)) {
 | |
| 	console.log('Using local version of this package');
 | |
| } else {
 | |
| 	// Code for both global and local version here…
 | |
| }
 | |
| ```
