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.
