| <h1><a href="../files/npmrc.html">npmrc</a></h1> <p>The npm config files</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2> |
| |
| <p>npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment |
| variables, and <code>npmrc</code> files.</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> |
| |
| <p>For a list of available configuration options, see <a href="../misc/npm-config.html">npm-config(7)</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="FILES">FILES</h2> |
| |
| <p>The three relevant files are:</p> |
| |
| <ul><li>per-user config file (~/.npmrc)</li><li>global config file ($PREFIX/npmrc)</li><li>npm builtin config file (/path/to/npm/npmrc)</li></ul> |
| |
| <p>All npm config files are an ini-formatted list of <code>key = value</code> |
| parameters. Environment variables can be replaced using |
| <code>${VARIABLE_NAME}</code>. For example:</p> |
| |
| <pre><code>prefix = ${HOME}/.npm-packages</code></pre> |
| |
| <p>Each of these files is loaded, and config options are resolved in |
| priority order. For example, a setting in the userconfig file would |
| override the setting in the globalconfig file.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="Per-user-config-file">Per-user config file</h3> |
| |
| <p><code>$HOME/.npmrc</code> (or the <code>userconfig</code> param, if set in the environment |
| or on the command line)</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="Global-config-file">Global config file</h3> |
| |
| <p><code>$PREFIX/etc/npmrc</code> (or the <code>globalconfig</code> param, if set above): |
| This file is an ini-file formatted list of <code>key = value</code> parameters. |
| Environment variables can be replaced as above.</p> |
| |
| <h3 id="Built-in-config-file">Built-in config file</h3> |
| |
| <p><code>path/to/npm/itself/npmrc</code></p> |
| |
| <p>This is an unchangeable "builtin" configuration file that npm keeps |
| consistent across updates. Set fields in here using the <code>./configure</code> |
| script that comes with npm. This is primarily for distribution |
| maintainers to override default configs in a standard and consistent |
| manner.</p> |
