.SH "NAME"
\fBnpmrc\fR \-\- The npm config files
.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
npm gets its config settings from the command line, environment
variables, and \fBnpmrc\fR files\.
.
.P
The \fBnpm config\fR command can be used to update and edit the contents
of the user and global npmrc files\.
.
.P
npm help For a list of available configuration options, see npm\-config\.
.
.SH "FILES"
The three relevant files are:
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
per\-user config file (~/\.npmrc)
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
global config file ($PREFIX/npmrc)
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
npm builtin config file (/path/to/npm/npmrc)
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
All npm config files are an ini\-formatted list of \fBkey = value\fR
parameters\. Environment variables can be replaced using \fB${VARIABLE_NAME}\fR\|\. For example:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
prefix = ${HOME}/\.npm\-packages
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Each of these files is loaded, and config options are resolved in
priority order\. For example, a setting in the userconfig file would
override the setting in the globalconfig file\.
.
.SS "Per\-user config file"
\fB$HOME/\.npmrc\fR (or the \fBuserconfig\fR param, if set in the environment
or on the command line)
.
.SS "Global config file"
\fB$PREFIX/etc/npmrc\fR (or the \fBglobalconfig\fR param, if set above):
This file is an ini\-file formatted list of \fBkey = value\fR parameters\.
Environment variables can be replaced as above\.
.
.SS "Built\-in config file"
\fBpath/to/npm/itself/npmrc\fR
.
.P
This is an unchangeable "builtin" configuration file that npm keeps
consistent across updates\. Set fields in here using the \fB\|\./configure\fR
script that comes with npm\. This is primarily for distribution
maintainers to override default configs in a standard and consistent
manner\.
