## What it is
qnm is a fast CLI utility for querying the node_modules directory to see which versions of packages are installed, including nested duplicates. It supports npm and yarn, monorepos, fuzzy search, and explains why a package was installed.

## Use cases
- check which version of lodash is installed in node_modules
- find all duplicate instances of a package across nested node_modules
- figure out why a package was installed
- fuzzy search installed packages interactively
- inspect installed package versions in a monorepo
- see when an installed package version was released and what the latest version is

## When to choose
- npm list is too slow or noisy for your workflow
- you need to debug duplicate or nested package versions
- you work with npm or yarn projects including monorepos

## When to avoid
- you need to manage or install packages rather than inspect them
- you are not working in a Node.js project
