+npm-install(1) -- install a package
+===================================
+
+## SUMMARY
+
+ npm install <tarball>
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+This installs the package, where `tarball` is a url or path to a `.tgz` file
+that contains a package with a `package.json` file in the root.
+
+This'll create some stuff in `$HOME/.node_libraries`. It supports installing
+multiple versions of the same thing.
+
+From here, you can do `require("foo-1.2.3")` where "foo" is the name of the
+package, and "1.2.3" is the version you installed.
+
+Installing by name and version alone is planned for the next version.
