.TH "NPM\-INSTALL" "1" "May 2010" "" ""
.
.SH "NAME"
\fBnpm\-install\fR \-\- install a package
.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.
.nf
npm install <tarball file>
npm install <tarball url>
npm install <folder>
npm install <pkg>
npm install <pkg>@<tag>
npm install <pkg>@<version>
npm install <pkg>@<version range>
.
.fi
.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This command installs a package, and any packages that it depends on. It
resolves circular dependencies by talking to the npm registry.
.
.TP
npm install \fB<tarball file>\fR
Install a package that is sitting on the filesystem. Note: if you just want
to link a dev directory into your npm root, you can do this more easily by
using \fBnpm link\fR.
.
.IP
In order to distinguish between this and remote installs, the argument
must either be "." or contain a "/" in it.
.
.P
Example:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
npm install ./package.tgz
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.TP
npm install \fB<tarball url>\fR
Fetch the tarball url, and then install it. In order to distinguish between
this and other options, the argument must start with "http://" or "https://"
.
.IP
Example:
.
.IP
npm install http://github.com/waveto/node\-crypto/tarball/v0.0.5
.
.TP
npm install \fB<pkg>\fR
Do a \fB<pkg>@<tag>\fR install, where \fB<tag>\fR is the "tag" config from either your
.npmrc file, or the \-\-tag argument on the command line.
.
.IP
Example:
.
.IP
npm install sax
.
.TP
npm install \fB<pkg>@<tag>\fR
Install the version of the package that is referenced by the specified tag.
If the tag does not exist in the registry data for that package, then this
will fail.
.
.IP
Example:
.
.IP
npm install sax@stable
.
.TP
npm install \fB<pkg>@<version>\fR
Install the specified version of the package. This will fail if the version
has not been published to the registry.
.
.IP
Example:
.
.IP
npm install sax@0.1.1
.
.TP
npm install \fB<pkg>@<version range>\fR
Install a version of the package matching the specified version range. This
will follow the same rules for resolving dependencies described in \fBnpm help json\fR.
.
.IP
Note that most version ranges must be put in quotes so that your shell will
treat it as a single argument.
.
.P
Example:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
npm install sax@">=0.1.0 <0.2.0"
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
You may combine multiple arguments, and even multiple types of arguments. For example:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
npm install sax@">=0.1.0 <0.2.0" bench supervisor
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
The \fB\-\-tag\fR argument will apply to all of the specified install targets.
