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

<p>npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment
variables, <code>npmrc</code> files, and in some cases, the <code>package.json</code> file.</p>

<p>See <a href="../files/npmrc.html">npmrc(5)</a> for more information about the npmrc files.</p>

<p>See <code><a href="../misc/npm-config.html">npm-config(7)</a></code> for a more thorough discussion of the mechanisms
involved.</p>

<p>The <code>npm config</code> command can be used to update and edit the contents
of the user and global npmrc files.</p>
