NAME
npm-config - Manage the npm configuration files Synopsis npm config set <key>=<value> [<key>=<value> ...] npm config get [<key> [<key> ...]] npm config delete <key> [<key> ...] npm config list [--json] npm config edit npm set <key>=<value> [<key>=<value> ...] npm get [<key> [<key> ...]] alias: c Note: This command is unaware of workspaces. Description npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment variables, npmrc files, and in some cases, the package.json file. See npm help npmrc for more information about the npmrc files. See npm help config(7) for a more thorough explanation of the mechanisms involved, and a full list of config options available. The npm config command can be used to update and edit the contents of the user and global npmrc files. Sub-commands Config supports the following sub-commands: set npm config set key=value [key=value...] npm set key=value [key=value...] Sets each of the config keys to the value provided. If value is omitted, then it sets it to an empty string. Note: for backwards compatibility, npm config set key value is supported as an alias for npm config set key=value. get npm config get [key ...] npm get [key ...] Echo the config value(s) to stdout. If multiple keys are provided, then the values will be prefixed with the key names. If no keys are provided, then this command behaves the same as npm config list. list npm config list Show all the config settings. Use -l to also show defaults. Use --json to show the settings in json format. delete npm config delete key [key ...] Deletes the specified keys from all configuration files. edit npm config edit Opens the config file in an editor. Use the --global flag to edit the global config.

See npm help folders for more on the differences in behavior. • packages are installed into the {prefix}/lib/node_modules folder, instead of the current working directory. • bin files are linked to {prefix}/bin • man pages are linked to {prefix}/share/man <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js --> editor • Default: The EDITOR or VISUAL environment variables, or 'notepad.exe' on Windows, or 'vim' on Unix systems • Type: String The command to run for npm edit and npm config edit. <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js --> location • Default: "user" unless --global is passed, which will also set this value to "global" • Type: "global", "user", or "project" When passed to npm config this refers to which config file to use. <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js --> long • Default: false • Type: Boolean Show extended information in ls, search, and help-search. <!-- automatically generated, do not edit manually --> <!-- see lib/utils/config/definitions.js --> <!-- AUTOGENERATED CONFIG DESCRIPTIONS END --> See Also • npm help folders • npm help config • npm help package.json • npm help npmrc • npm help npm undefined NaN NPM-CONFIG(1)
