NAME

       npm-publish - Publish a package

SYNOPSIS

       npm publish [<tarball>|<folder>] [--tag <tag>] [--access <public|restricted>]

       Publishes ´.´ if no argument supplied
       Sets tag ´latest´ if no --tag specified

DESCRIPTION

       Publishes  a  package  to the registry so that it can be installed by name. See npm help 7
       npm-developers for details on what´s included in the published package, as well as details
       on how the package is built.

       By default npm will publish to the public registry. This can be overridden by specifying a
       different default registry or using a npm help 7 npm-scope in the name  (see  npm  help  5
       package.json).

       •   <folder>: A folder containing a package.json file

       •   <tarball>: A url or file path to a gzipped tar archive containing a single folder with
           a package.json file inside.

       •   [--tag <tag>] Registers the published package  with  the  given  tag,  such  that  npm
           install  <name>@<tag>  will  install this version. By default, npm publish updates and
           npm install installs the latest tag.

       •   [--access <public|restricted>] Tells the  registry  whether  this  package  should  be
           published  as  public or restricted. Only applies to scoped packages, which default to
           restricted. If you don´t have a paid account, you must publish with --access public to
           publish scoped packages.

       Fails  if  the  package  name  and  version  combination  already  exists in the specified
       registry.

       Once a package is published with a given name and version, that specific name and  version
       combination can never be used again, even if it is removed with npm help unpublish.
