<h3 id="description">Description</h3>
|
|
<p>This command installs a package and any packages that it depends on. If the
|
|
package has a package-lock, or an npm shrinkwrap file, or a yarn lock file,
|
|
the installation of dependencies will be driven by that, respecting the
|
|
following order of precedence:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>package-lock.json</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>yarn.lock</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>See <a href="../configuring-npm/package-lock-json.html">package-lock.json</a> and
|
|
<a href="../commands/npm-shrinkwrap.html"><code>npm shrinkwrap</code></a>.</p>
|
|
<p>A <code>package</code> is:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>a) a folder containing a program described by a
|
|
<a href="../configuring-npm/package-json.html"><code>package.json</code></a> file</li>
|
|
<li>b) a gzipped tarball containing (a)</li>
|
|
<li>c) a url that resolves to (b)</li>
|
|
<li>d) a <code><name>@<version></code> that is published on the registry (see
|
|
<a href="../using-npm/registry.html"><code>registry</code></a>) with (c)</li>
|
|
<li>e) a <code><name>@<tag></code> (see <a href="../commands/npm-dist-tag.html"><code>npm dist-tag</code></a>) that
|
|
points to (d)</li>
|
|
<li>f) a <code><name></code> that has a "latest" tag satisfying (e)</li>
|
|
<li>g) a <code><git remote url></code> that resolves to (a)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Even if you never publish your package, you can still get a lot of benefits
|
|
of using npm if you just want to write a node program (a), and perhaps if
|
|
you also want to be able to easily install it elsewhere after packing it up
|
|
into a tarball (b).</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>npm install</code> (in a package directory, no arguments):</p>
|
|
<p>Install the dependencies to the local <code>node_modules</code> folder.</p>
|
|
<p>In global mode (ie, with <code>-g</code> or <code>--global</code> appended to the command),
|
|
it installs the current package context (ie, the current working
|
|
directory) as a global package.</p>
|
|
<p>By default, <code>npm install</code> will install all modules listed as
|
|
dependencies in <a href="../configuring-npm/package-json.html"><code>package.json</code></a>.</p>
|
|
<p>With the <code>--production</code> flag (or when the <code>NODE_ENV</code> environment
|
|
variable is set to <code>production</code>), npm will not install modules listed
|
|
in <code>devDependencies</code>. To install all modules listed in both
|
|
<code>dependencies</code> and <code>devDependencies</code> when <code>NODE_ENV</code> environment
|
|
variable is set to <code>production</code>, you can use <code>--production=false</code>.</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>NOTE: The <code>--production</code> flag has no particular meaning when adding a
|
|
dependency to a project.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>npm install <folder></code>:</p>
|
|
<p>If <code><folder></code> sits inside the root of your project, its dependencies will be installed and may
|
|
be hoisted to the top-level <code>node_modules</code> as they would for other
|
|
types of dependencies. If <code><folder></code> sits outside the root of your project,
|
|
<em>npm will not install the package dependencies</em> in the directory <code><folder></code>,
|
|
but it will create a symlink to <code><folder></code>.</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>NOTE: If you want to install the content of a directory like a package from the registry instead of creating a link, you would need to use the <code>--install-links</code> option.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm install ../../other-package --install-links
|
|
npm install ./sub-package
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>npm install <tarball file></code>:</p>
|
|
<p>Install a package that is sitting on the filesystem. Note: if you just
|
|
want to link a dev directory into your npm root, you can do this more
|
|
easily by using <a href="../commands/npm-link.html"><code>npm link</code></a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Tarball requirements:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The filename <em>must</em> use <code>.tar</code>, <code>.tar.gz</code>, or <code>.tgz</code> as the
|
|
extension.</li>
|
|
<li>The package contents should reside in a subfolder inside the tarball
|
|
(usually it is called <code>package/</code>). npm strips one directory layer
|
|
when installing the package (an equivalent of <code>tar x --strip-components=1</code> is run).</li>
|
|
<li>The package must contain a <code>package.json</code> file with <code>name</code> and
|
|
<code>version</code> properties.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm install ./package.tgz
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>npm install <tarball url></code>:</p>
|
|
<p>Fetch the tarball url, and then install it. In order to distinguish between
|
|
this and other options, the argument must start with "http://" or "https://"</p>
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm install https://github.com/indexzero/forever/tarball/v0.5.6
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>npm install [<@scope>/]<name></code>:</p>
|
|
<p>Do a <code><name>@<tag></code> install, where <code><tag></code> is the "tag" config. (See
|
|
<a href="../using-npm/config#tag.html"><code>config</code></a>. The config's default value is <code>latest</code>.)</p>
|
|
<p>In most cases, this will install the version of the modules tagged as
|
|
<code>latest</code> on the npm registry.</p>
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm install sax
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p><code>npm install</code> saves any specified packages into <code>dependencies</code> by default.
|
|
Additionally, you can control where and how they get saved with some
|
|
additional flags:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>-P, --save-prod</code>: Package will appear in your <code>dependencies</code>. This
|
|
is the default unless <code>-D</code> or <code>-O</code> are present.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>-D, --save-dev</code>: Package will appear in your <code>devDependencies</code>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>--save-peer</code>: Package will appear in your <code>peerDependencies</code>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>-O, --save-optional</code>: Package will appear in your
|
|
<code>optionalDependencies</code>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>--no-save</code>: Prevents saving to <code>dependencies</code>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>When using any of the above options to save dependencies to your
|
|
package.json, there are two additional, optional flags:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>-E, --save-exact</code>: Saved dependencies will be configured with an
|
|
exact version rather than using npm's default semver range operator.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>-B, --save-bundle</code>: Saved dependencies will also be added to your
|
|
<code>bundleDependencies</code> list.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Further, if you have an <code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code> or <code>package-lock.json</code>
|
|
then it will be updated as well.</p>
|
|
<p><code><scope></code> is optional. The package will be downloaded from the registry
|
|
associated with the specified scope. If no registry is associated with
|
|
the given scope the default registry is assumed. See
|
|
<a href="../using-npm/scope.html"><code>scope</code></a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: if you do not include the @-symbol on your scope name, npm will
|
|
interpret this as a GitHub repository instead, see below. Scopes names
|
|
must also be followed by a slash.</p>
|
|
<p>Examples:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm install sax
|
|
npm install githubname/reponame
|
|
npm install @myorg/privatepackage
|
|
npm install node-tap --save-dev
|
|
npm install dtrace-provider --save-optional
|
|
npm install readable-stream --save-exact
|
|
npm install ansi-regex --save-bundle
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>npm install <alias>@npm:<name></code>:</p>
|
|
<p>Install a package under a custom alias. Allows multiple versions of
|
|
a same-name package side-by-side, more convenient import names for
|
|
packages with otherwise long ones, and using git forks replacements
|
|
or forked npm packages as replacements. Aliasing works only on your
|
|
project and does not rename packages in transitive dependencies.
|
|
Aliases should follow the naming conventions stated in
|
|
<a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/validate-npm-package-name#naming-rules"><code>validate-npm-package-name</code></a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Examples:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm install my-react@npm:react
|
|
npm install jquery2@npm:jquery@2
|
|
npm install jquery3@npm:jquery@3
|
|
npm install npa@npm:npm-package-arg
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>npm install [<@scope>/]<name>@<tag></code>:</p>
|
|
<p>Install the version of the package that is referenced by the specified tag.
|
|
If the tag does not exist in the registry data for that package, then this
|
|
will fail.</p>
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm install sax@latest
|
|
npm install @myorg/mypackage@latest
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>npm install [<@scope>/]<name>@<version></code>:</p>
|
|
<p>Install the specified version of the package. This will fail if the
|
|
version has not been published to the registry.</p>
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm install sax@0.1.1
|
|
npm install @myorg/privatepackage@1.5.0
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>npm install [<@scope>/]<name>@<version range></code>:</p>
|
|
<p>Install a version of the package matching the specified version range.
|
|
This will follow the same rules for resolving dependencies described in
|
|
<a href="../configuring-npm/package-json.html"><code>package.json</code></a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Note that most version ranges must be put in quotes so that your shell
|
|
will treat it as a single argument.</p>
|
|
<p>Example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm install sax@">=0.1.0 <0.2.0"
|
|
npm install @myorg/privatepackage@"16 - 17"
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><code>npm install <git remote url></code>:</p>
|
|
<p>Installs the package from the hosted git provider, cloning it with
|
|
<code>git</code>. For a full git remote url, only that URL will be attempted.</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash"><protocol>://[<user>[:<password>]@]<hostname>[:<port>][:][/]<path>[#<commit-ish> | #semver:<semver>]
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p><code><protocol></code> is one of <code>git</code>, <code>git+ssh</code>, <code>git+http</code>, <code>git+https</code>, or
|
|
<code>git+file</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>If <code>#<commit-ish></code> is provided, it will be used to clone exactly that
|
|
commit. If the commit-ish has the format <code>#semver:<semver></code>, <code><semver></code>
|
|
can be any valid semver range or exact version, and npm will look for
|
|
any tags or refs matching that range in the remote repository, much as
|
|
it would for a registry dependency. If neither <code>#<commit-ish></code> or
|
|
<code>#semver:<semver></code> is specified, then the default branch of the
|
|
repository is used.</p>
|
|
<p>If the repository makes use of submodules, those submodules will be
|
|
cloned as well.</p>
|
|
<p>If the package being installed contains a <code>prepare</code> script, its
|
|
<code>dependencies</code> and <code>devDependencies</code> will be installed, and the prepare
|
|
script will be run, before the package is packaged and installed.</p>
|
|
<p>The following git environment variables are recognized by npm and will
|
|
be added to the environment when running git:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>GIT_ASKPASS</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>GIT_EXEC_PATH</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>GIT_PROXY_COMMAND</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>GIT_SSH</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>GIT_SSH_COMMAND</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>GIT_SSL_CAINFO</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY</code></li>
|
|
</ul>

commit. If the commit-ish has the format <code>#semver:<semver></code>, <code><semver></code>
|

can be any valid semver range or exact version, and npm will look for
|
|
any tags or refs matching that range in the remote repository, much as

it would for a registry dependency. If neither <code>#<commit-ish></code> or

<p>As with regular git dependencies, <code>dependencies</code> and <code>devDependencies</code>

optional and will not be saved in <code>package.json</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>As with regular git dependencies, <code>dependencies</code> and <code>devDependencies</code> will

For example:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm install sax@">=0.1.0 <0.2.0" bench supervisor
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The <code>--tag</code> argument will apply to all of the specified install targets. If
|
|
a tag with the given name exists, the tagged version is preferred over
|
|
newer versions.</p>
|
|
<p>The <code>--dry-run</code> argument will report in the usual way what the install
|
|
would have done without actually installing anything.</p>
|
|
<p>The <code>--package-lock-only</code> argument will only update the
|
|
<code>package-lock.json</code>, instead of checking <code>node_modules</code> and downloading
|
|
dependencies.</p>
|
|
<p>The <code>-f</code> or <code>--force</code> argument will force npm to fetch remote resources
|
|
even if a local copy exists on disk.</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">npm install sax --force
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h3 id="configuration">Configuration</h3>
|
|
<p>See the <a href="../using-npm/config.html"><code>config</code></a> help doc. Many of the configuration
|
|
params have some effect on installation, since that's most of what npm
|
|
does.</p>
|
|
<p>These are some of the most common options related to installation.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="save"><code>save</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: <code>true</code> unless when using <code>npm update</code> where it defaults to <code>false</code></li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Save installed packages to a <code>package.json</code> file as dependencies.</p>
|
|
<p>When used with the <code>npm rm</code> command, removes the dependency from
|
|
<code>package.json</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>Will also prevent writing to <code>package-lock.json</code> if set to <code>false</code>.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="save-exact"><code>save-exact</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: false</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Dependencies saved to package.json will be configured with an exact version
|
|
rather than using npm's default semver range operator.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="global"><code>global</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: false</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the <code>prefix</code>
|
|
folder instead of the current working directory. See
|
|
<a href="../configuring-npm/folders.html">folders</a> for more on the differences in behavior.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>packages are installed into the <code>{prefix}/lib/node_modules</code> folder, instead
|
|
of the current working directory.</li>
|
|
<li>bin files are linked to <code>{prefix}/bin</code></li>
|
|
<li>man pages are linked to <code>{prefix}/share/man</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h4 id="install-strategy"><code>install-strategy</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: "hoisted"</li>
|
|
<li>Type: "hoisted", "nested", "shallow", or "linked"</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Sets the strategy for installing packages in node_modules. hoisted
|
|
(default): Install non-duplicated in top-level, and duplicated as necessary
|
|
within directory structure. nested: (formerly --legacy-bundling) install in
|
|
place, no hoisting. shallow (formerly --global-style) only install direct
|
|
deps at top-level. linked: (experimental) install in node_modules/.store,
|
|
link in place, unhoisted.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="legacy-bundling"><code>legacy-bundling</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: false</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
<li>DEPRECATED: This option has been deprecated in favor of
|
|
<code>--install-strategy=nested</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Instead of hoisting package installs in <code>node_modules</code>, install packages in
|
|
the same manner that they are depended on. This may cause very deep
|
|
directory structures and duplicate package installs as there is no
|
|
de-duplicating. Sets <code>--install-strategy=nested</code>.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="global-style"><code>global-style</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: false</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
<li>DEPRECATED: This option has been deprecated in favor of
|
|
<code>--install-strategy=shallow</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Only install direct dependencies in the top level <code>node_modules</code>, but hoist
|
|
on deeper dependencies. Sets <code>--install-strategy=shallow</code>.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="omit"><code>omit</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: 'dev' if the <code>NODE_ENV</code> environment variable is set to
|
|
'production', otherwise empty.</li>
|
|
<li>Type: "dev", "optional", or "peer" (can be set multiple times)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Dependency types to omit from the installation tree on disk.</p>
|
|
<p>Note that these dependencies <em>are</em> still resolved and added to the
|
|
<code>package-lock.json</code> or <code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code> file. They are just not
|
|
physically installed on disk.</p>
|
|
<p>If a package type appears in both the <code>--include</code> and <code>--omit</code> lists, then
|
|
it will be included.</p>
|
|
<p>If the resulting omit list includes <code>'dev'</code>, then the <code>NODE_ENV</code> environment
|
|
variable will be set to <code>'production'</code> for all lifecycle scripts.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="include"><code>include</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default:</li>
|
|
<li>Type: "prod", "dev", "optional", or "peer" (can be set multiple times)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Option that allows for defining which types of dependencies to install.</p>
|
|
<p>This is the inverse of <code>--omit=<type></code>.</p>
|
|
<p>Dependency types specified in <code>--include</code> will not be omitted, regardless of
|
|
the order in which omit/include are specified on the command-line.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="strict-peer-deps"><code>strict-peer-deps</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: false</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>If set to <code>true</code>, and <code>--legacy-peer-deps</code> is not set, then <em>any</em>
|
|
conflicting <code>peerDependencies</code> will be treated as an install failure, even
|
|
if npm could reasonably guess the appropriate resolution based on non-peer
|
|
dependency relationships.</p>
|
|
<p>By default, conflicting <code>peerDependencies</code> deep in the dependency graph will
|
|
be resolved using the nearest non-peer dependency specification, even if
|
|
doing so will result in some packages receiving a peer dependency outside
|
|
the range set in their package's <code>peerDependencies</code> object.</p>
|
|
<p>When such an override is performed, a warning is printed, explaining the
|
|
conflict and the packages involved. If <code>--strict-peer-deps</code> is set, then
|
|
this warning is treated as a failure.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="prefer-dedupe"><code>prefer-dedupe</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: false</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Prefer to deduplicate packages if possible, rather than choosing a newer
|
|
version of a dependency.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="package-lock"><code>package-lock</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: true</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>If set to false, then ignore <code>package-lock.json</code> files when installing. This
|
|
will also prevent <em>writing</em> <code>package-lock.json</code> if <code>save</code> is true.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="package-lock-only"><code>package-lock-only</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: false</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>If set to true, the current operation will only use the <code>package-lock.json</code>,
|
|
ignoring <code>node_modules</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>For <code>update</code> this means only the <code>package-lock.json</code> will be updated,
|
|
instead of checking <code>node_modules</code> and downloading dependencies.</p>
|
|
<p>For <code>list</code> this means the output will be based on the tree described by the
|
|
<code>package-lock.json</code>, rather than the contents of <code>node_modules</code>.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="foreground-scripts"><code>foreground-scripts</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: <code>false</code> unless when using <code>npm pack</code> or <code>npm publish</code> where it
|
|
defaults to <code>true</code></li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Run all build scripts (ie, <code>preinstall</code>, <code>install</code>, and <code>postinstall</code>)
|
|
scripts for installed packages in the foreground process, sharing standard
|
|
input, output, and error with the main npm process.</p>
|
|
<p>Note that this will generally make installs run slower, and be much noisier,
|
|
but can be useful for debugging.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="ignore-scripts"><code>ignore-scripts</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: false</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files.</p>
|
|
<p>Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as
|
|
<code>npm start</code>, <code>npm stop</code>, <code>npm restart</code>, <code>npm test</code>, and <code>npm run-script</code>
|
|
will still run their intended script if <code>ignore-scripts</code> is set, but they
|
|
will <em>not</em> run any pre- or post-scripts.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="audit"><code>audit</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: true</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>When "true" submit audit reports alongside the current npm command to the
|
|
default registry and all registries configured for scopes. See the
|
|
documentation for <a href="../commands/npm-audit.html"><code>npm audit</code></a> for details on what is
|
|
submitted.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="bin-links"><code>bin-links</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: true</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Tells npm to create symlinks (or <code>.cmd</code> shims on Windows) for package
|
|
executables.</p>
|
|
<p>Set to false to have it not do this. This can be used to work around the
|
|
fact that some file systems don't support symlinks, even on ostensibly Unix
|
|
systems.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="fund"><code>fund</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: true</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>When "true" displays the message at the end of each <code>npm install</code>
|
|
acknowledging the number of dependencies looking for funding. See <a href="../commands/npm-fund.html"><code>npm fund</code></a> for details.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="dry-run"><code>dry-run</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: false</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Indicates that you don't want npm to make any changes and that it should
|
|
only report what it would have done. This can be passed into any of the
|
|
commands that modify your local installation, eg, <code>install</code>, <code>update</code>,
|
|
<code>dedupe</code>, <code>uninstall</code>, as well as <code>pack</code> and <code>publish</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: This is NOT honored by other network related commands, eg <code>dist-tags</code>,
|
|
<code>owner</code>, etc.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="cpu"><code>cpu</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: null</li>
|
|
<li>Type: null or String</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Override CPU architecture of native modules to install. Acceptable values
|
|
are same as <code>cpu</code> field of package.json, which comes from <code>process.arch</code>.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="os"><code>os</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: null</li>
|
|
<li>Type: null or String</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Override OS of native modules to install. Acceptable values are same as <code>os</code>
|
|
field of package.json, which comes from <code>process.platform</code>.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="libc"><code>libc</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: null</li>
|
|
<li>Type: null or String</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Override libc of native modules to install. Acceptable values are same as
|
|
<code>libc</code> field of package.json</p>
|
|
<h4 id="workspace"><code>workspace</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default:</li>
|
|
<li>Type: String (can be set multiple times)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
|
|
current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
|
|
this configuration option.</p>
|
|
<p>Valid values for the <code>workspace</code> config are either:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Workspace names</li>
|
|
<li>Path to a workspace directory</li>
|
|
<li>Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
|
|
workspaces within that folder)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>When set for the <code>npm init</code> command, this may be set to the folder of a
|
|
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
|
|
brand new workspace within the project.</p>
|
|
<p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="workspaces"><code>workspaces</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: null</li>
|
|
<li>Type: null or Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Set to true to run the command in the context of <strong>all</strong> configured
|
|
workspaces.</p>
|
|
<p>Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like <code>install</code> to
|
|
ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Commands that operate on the <code>node_modules</code> tree (install, update, etc.)
|
|
will link workspaces into the <code>node_modules</code> folder. - Commands that do
|
|
other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project,
|
|
<em>unless</em> one or more workspaces are specified in the <code>workspace</code> config.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="include-workspace-root"><code>include-workspace-root</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: false</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.</p>
|
|
<p>When false, specifying individual workspaces via the <code>workspace</code> config, or
|
|
all workspaces via the <code>workspaces</code> flag, will cause npm to operate only on
|
|
the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.</p>
|
|
<p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
|
|
<h4 id="install-links"><code>install-links</code></h4>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Default: false</li>
|
|
<li>Type: Boolean</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>When set file: protocol dependencies will be packed and installed as regular
|
|
dependencies instead of creating a symlink. This option has no effect on
|
|
workspaces.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="algorithm">Algorithm</h3>
|
|
<p>Given a <code>package{dep}</code> structure: <code>A{B,C}, B{C}, C{D}</code>,
|
|
the npm install algorithm produces:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">A
|
|
+-- B
|
|
+-- C
|
|
+-- D
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>That is, the dependency from B to C is satisfied by the fact that A already
|
|
caused C to be installed at a higher level. D is still installed at the top
|
|
level because nothing conflicts with it.</p>
|
|
<p>For <code>A{B,C}, B{C,D@1}, C{D@2}</code>, this algorithm produces:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-bash">A
|
|
+-- B
|
|
+-- C
|
|
`-- D@2
|
|
+-- D@1
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Because B's D@1 will be installed in the top-level, C now has to install
|
|
D@2 privately for itself. This algorithm is deterministic, but different
|
|
trees may be produced if two dependencies are requested for installation in
|
|
a different order.</p>
|
|
<p>See <a href="../configuring-npm/folders.html">folders</a> for a more detailed description of
|
|
the specific folder structures that npm creates.</p>
