+npm(1) -- javascript package manager
+====================================
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+ npm <command> [args]
+
+## VERSION
+
+@VERSION@
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+npm is the package manager for the Node JavaScript platform. It puts
+modules in place so that node can find them, and manages dependency
+conflicts intelligently.
+
+It is extremely configurable to support a wide variety of use cases.
+Most commonly, it is used to publish, discover, install, and develop node
+programs.
+
+Run `npm help` to get a list of available commands.
+
+## IMPORTANT
+
+npm is configured to use npm, Inc.'s public registry at
+https://registry.npmjs.org by default. Use of the npm public registry is
+subject to terms of use available at https://www.npmjs.com/policies/terms.
+
+You can configure npm to use any compatible registry you like, and even run
+your own registry. Use of someone else's registry may be governed by their
+terms of use.
+
+## INTRODUCTION
+
+You probably got npm because you want to install stuff.
+
+Use `npm install blerg` to install the latest version of "blerg". Check out
+`npm-install(1)` for more info. It can do a lot of stuff.
+
+Use the `npm search` command to show everything that's available.
+Use `npm ls` to show everything you've installed.
+
+## DEPENDENCIES
+
+If a package references to another package with a git URL, npm depends
+on a preinstalled git.
+
+If one of the packages npm tries to install is a native node module and
+requires compiling of C++ Code, npm will use
+[node-gyp](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp) for that task.
+For a Unix system, [node-gyp](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp)
+needs Python, make and a buildchain like GCC. On Windows,
+Python and Microsoft Visual Studio C++ are needed. Python 3 is
+not supported by [node-gyp](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp).
+For more information visit
+[the node-gyp repository](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp) and
+the [node-gyp Wiki](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp/wiki).
+
+## DIRECTORIES
+
+See `npm-folders(5)` to learn about where npm puts stuff.
+
+In particular, npm has two modes of operation:
+
+* global mode:
+ npm installs packages into the install prefix at
+ `prefix/lib/node_modules` and bins are installed in `prefix/bin`.
+* local mode:
+ npm installs packages into the current project directory, which
+ defaults to the current working directory. Packages are installed to
+ `./node_modules`, and bins are installed to `./node_modules/.bin`.
+
+Local mode is the default. Use `-g` or `--global` on any command to
+operate in global mode instead.
+
+## DEVELOPER USAGE
+
+If you're using npm to develop and publish your code, check out the
+following help topics:
+
+* json:
+ Make a package.json file. See `package.json(5)`.
+* link:
+ For linking your current working code into Node's path, so that you
+ don't have to reinstall every time you make a change. Use
+ `npm link` to do this.
+* install:
+ It's a good idea to install things if you don't need the symbolic link.
+ Especially, installing other peoples code from the registry is done via
+ `npm install`
+* adduser:
+ Create an account or log in. Credentials are stored in the
+ user config file.
+* publish:
+ Use the `npm publish` command to upload your code to the registry.
+
+## CONFIGURATION
+
+npm is extremely configurable. It reads its configuration options from
+5 places.
+
+* Command line switches:
+ Set a config with `--key val`. All keys take a value, even if they
+ are booleans (the config parser doesn't know what the options are at
+ the time of parsing). If no value is provided, then the option is set
+ to boolean `true`.
+* Environment Variables:
+ Set any config by prefixing the name in an environment variable with
+ `npm_config_`. For example, `export npm_config_key=val`.
+* User Configs:
+ The file at $HOME/.npmrc is an ini-formatted list of configs. If
+ present, it is parsed. If the `userconfig` option is set in the cli
+ or env, then that will be used instead.
+* Global Configs:
+ The file found at ../etc/npmrc (from the node executable, by default
+ this resolves to /usr/local/etc/npmrc) will be parsed if it is found.
+ If the `globalconfig` option is set in the cli, env, or user config,
+ then that file is parsed instead.
+* Defaults:
+ npm's default configuration options are defined in
+ lib/utils/config-defs.js. These must not be changed.
+
+See `npm-config(7)` for much much more information.
