npm(1) -- node package manager
==============================
## SYNOPSIS
npm <command> [args]
## DESCRIPTION
npm is a little package manager for the Node javascript library.
Run `npm help` for help. That's probably what you meant to do.
## STATUS: Useful Beta
The core functionality is there. It works.
Please use this software. It will cut you occasionally. Let me know when
you find a rough edge, and I'll sand it down for you.
I appreciate your sense of adventure.
## PRINCIPLES
Put the files where they need to be so that node can find them using the
methods it already uses.
Be lazy, not clever.
The file system is the database.
Sync with habits that are already in use.
Packages should be maintained by their authors, not by the package manager
author.
Steer clear of dependency hell.
## BUGS
Plenty. Luckily, npm is actively maintained as of this writing.
When you find issues, please report them:
* web:
<http://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues>
* email:
<npm-@googlegroups.com>
Be sure to include *all* of the output from the npm command that didn't work
as expected.
