Later within this post, we show you how to install and add packages as dependencies within one command. This will install the packages locally and don’t add them as dependencies to your project. Use the i shortcut as you would do installing only one package. Within the previous NPM quick tips, we showed you how to install multiple packages within one command. Install Multiple Packages With One Command
The command above installs the lodash package into the local node_modules folder. You can shortcut the install command by only using i instead of install: npm i lodash Of course you can install a new package to your local Node project without specifying it within the package.json file first.
If there is a package.json available, NPM installs the defined dependencies. If there is no package.json available, NPM won’t do anything. Submitting this command (without a packagename to install specified) on your command line, NPM searches the current directory for a package.json file with defined dependencies to install. That means, there is a very high demand on installing packages.Įverybody who has worked with NPM, knows the npm install command. There are more than 2 billion downloaded packages within the last 30 days. We already showed you the increasing number of NPM package installations. Use the new project as a playground and run commands to verify they really work :) Install Package If you want to execute the commands showed within this article without hesitation, initialize a new Node project with npm init. Also my practice is that even for globally installable modules like Nodemon it is a better practice to set them in the package.Create a Local Release Package Before Publishing to the Registry Regarding the SO accepted answer, it appears to be incorrect/imcomplete to me, as the -save-dev option hasn't been mentioned. My personal guess is that this is historical, as npm was created before the whole package.json standardization. On the other hand, if I set npm install xxxx -save while I did not want to save, I simply need to remove a line in my package.json file. Indeed, when I forget to add the -save, I need to reset all my node_modules content, run npm install xxx -save again and then npm install to make sure my state is the same as someone else doing npm install in the first place. Instead, shouldn't there be a npm install xxxx -nosave. As noticed in this could-have-been-closed-but-fortunately-hasn't SO question I hardly find a use case when doing npm install xxxx without the -save option.
