<pre><code>npm.load(conf, cb)</code></pre>

<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>

<p>npm.load() must be called before any other function call.  Both parameters are
optional, but the second is recommended.</p>

<p>The first parameter is an object hash of command-line config params, and the
second parameter is a callback that will be called when npm is loaded and
ready to serve.</p>

<p>The first parameter should follow a similar structure as the package.json
config object.</p>

<p>For example, to emulate the --dev flag, pass an object that looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>{
  &quot;dev&quot;: true
}</code></pre>

<p>For a list of all the available command-line configs, see <code>npm help config</code></p>
