-.TH "NPM\-REGISTRY" "7" "January 2019" "" ""
-.SH "NAME"
-\fBnpm-registry\fR \- The JavaScript Package Registry
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.P
-To resolve packages by name and version, npm talks to a registry website
-that implements the CommonJS Package Registry specification for reading
-package info\.
-.P
-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\|\.
-.P
-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\.
-.P
-npm's package registry implementation supports several
-write APIs as well, to allow for publishing packages and managing user
-account information\.
-.P
-The npm public registry is powered by a CouchDB database,
-of which there is a public mirror at
-https://skimdb\.npmjs\.com/registry\|\. The code for the couchapp is
-available at https://github\.com/npm/npm\-registry\-couchapp\|\.
-.P
-The registry URL used is determined by the scope of the package (see
-npm help 7 \fBnpm\-scope\fP)\. If no scope is specified, the default registry is used, which is
-supplied by the \fBregistry\fP config parameter\. See npm help \fBnpm\-config\fP,
-npm help 5 \fBnpmrc\fP, and npm help 7 \fBnpm\-config\fP for more on managing npm's configuration\.
-.SH Does npm send any information about me back to the registry?
-.P
-Yes\.
-.P
-When making requests of the registry npm adds two headers with information
-about your environment:
-.RS 0
-.IP \(bu 2
-\fBNpm\-Scope\fP – If your project is scoped, this header will contain its
-scope\. In the future npm hopes to build registry features that use this
-information to allow you to customize your experience for your
-organization\.
-.IP \(bu 2
-\fBNpm\-In\-CI\fP – Set to "true" if npm believes this install is running in a
-continuous integration environment, "false" otherwise\. This is detected by
-looking for the following environment variables: \fBCI\fP, \fBTDDIUM\fP,
-\fBJENKINS_URL\fP, \fBbamboo\.buildKey\fP\|\. If you'd like to learn more you may find
-the original PR \fIhttps://github\.com/npm/npm\-registry\-client/pull/129\fR
-interesting\.
-This is used to gather better metrics on how npm is used by humans, versus
-build farms\.
-
-.RE
-.P
-The npm registry does not try to correlate the information in these headers
-with any authenticated accounts that may be used in the same requests\.
-.SH Can I run my own private registry?
-.P
-Yes!
-.P
-The easiest way is to replicate the couch database, and use the same (or
-similar) design doc to implement the APIs\.
-.P
-If you set up continuous replication from the official CouchDB, and then
-set your internal CouchDB as the registry config, then you'll be able
-to read any published packages, in addition to your private ones, and by
-default will only publish internally\.
-.P
-If you then want to publish a package for the whole world to see, you can
-simply override the \fB\-\-registry\fP option for that \fBpublish\fP command\.
-.SH I don't want my package published in the official registry\. It's private\.
-.P
-Set \fB"private": true\fP in your package\.json to prevent it from being
-published at all, or
-\fB"publishConfig":{"registry":"http://my\-internal\-registry\.local"}\fP
-to force it to be published only to your internal registry\.
-.P
-See npm help 5 \fBpackage\.json\fP for more info on what goes in the package\.json file\.
-.SH Will you replicate from my registry into the public one?
-.P
-No\. If you want things to be public, then publish them into the public
-registry using npm\. What little security there is would be for nought
-otherwise\.
-.SH Do I have to use couchdb to build a registry that npm can talk to?
-.P
-No, but it's way easier\. Basically, yes, you do, or you have to
-effectively implement the entire CouchDB API anyway\.
-.SH Is there a website or something to see package docs and such?
-.P
-Yes, head over to https://www\.npmjs\.com/
